This is to ensure, that the CPU microcode level - along with the resulting Spectere/Meltdown etc. mitigations - still persist after system resume and there are no features missing. For many AMD systems (eg. Trinity/Richland) CPUID changes after suspend (some of the high bits), resulting in Xen Panic (see xen/arch/x86/acpi/power.c). So, more investigation would be needed to check why the CPUID bits are changing after resume and whether it had any security implications or not. For the time being - if you accept the possible security implications - you can disable that check eg. by commenting the panic line out after "recheck_cpu_features" in the above mentioned power.c file, compile xen for dom0 via qubes builder and test it in your system.
