Hi Simon, I'm afraid to say it, but I've seen another issue :( I accidentally trashed my win2k3 guest, so as part of testing this set I started reinstalling the guest. Meanwhile I thought I'd test win2k8... boom, the machine silently MCAs. The win2k3 guest is early on, at the point of loading the "Windows Executive", the win2k8 box is just after logging in. I don't know if it's an actual interaction between the two guests, but it's surprisingly easy to reproduce on my system. It only seems to occur with the kexec series loaded. An additional scary aspect is that after one of the MCAs, EFI complained that my RTC was invalid and set it back to an initial value. I've only seen that once, but certainly plants the idea that maybe an HVM guest got to it somehow. FWIW, I tried to reproduce these same conditions using the current ia64/xen-unstable.hg tree and ran through a few times w/o hitting any problems. I'll see if I can better characterize the issue, but you might try something similar.
