see attached file. Note that the kernel did unstall while 'i' output was
being printed, so it is mixed with some NetBSD kernel output.
The idt entry of the 'ioapic2 pin2' interrupt is 103 on CPU 0.

I also put the whole sequence at
http://www-soc.lip6.fr/~bouyer/xen-log3.txt

You'll see that I did hit 'i' 2 times to get the NetBSD kernel to boot
multiuser.

Reading the code, I think it's OK (assuming I properly understood what
you mean too). Wouldn't it cause problems on real hardware too
if the vectors were not EOI'd ?
