It took me a while to figure out what was going on here. The problem
turned out to be that my patch that keeps dom0 Linux from resetting the
IPI vectors never got merged. So C-a*3 works fine if you do it early in
boot, but it stops working halfway through dom0 boot when Linux
initializes IPIs to its reserved vectors and marks them disabled.
I will resend the Linux patch.
