Are you sure code in cpucheck.c is even being called for the PV/dom0
case? I'm reasonably sure that PV Xen boot doesn't go anywhere near
arch/x86/boot -- we have a totally different entry point.

What does the guest EFLAGS actually contain at this point? Is it
different to what it contains on non-hybrid dom0?

How do we execute 16 bit code in a VMX guest these days, using vm86 or
by emulation? How does that interact with EFLAGS_ID I wonder (although
why hybrid dom0 would have any bearing on this I've no idea).
