I met a similar error when debugging patch for moving iosapic previously:
ACPI: Error parsing MADT - no IOSAPIC entries

The reason at that time was because xen and xenlinux had different 
NR_IOSAPICS definition. Xenlinux defaulted to 256 while xen limited to 4. 
On my tiger4 box, there's 6 IOSAPICS however. Then xen only initialized 
4 IOSAPIC related structures, while xenlinux saw all 6 IOSAPICs. Finally 
when xenlinux operated 5th IOSAPIC, MCA happens. However the 
difference is, MCA occurred to me at MPT SCSI controller initialization, 
instead of immediately after above ACPI error message.

Since above error has been solved, yours should be a bit different which 
may relate to bogus mapping. How can people reproduce your error? Or 
maybe debug can be postponed if current dom0 on VP is not full ready?

Thanks,
Kevin
