And it worked, no more C1E error!  Thanks!

It looks like the AMD-64 AM2/AM2+ socket CPUs were the last generation
without C1E, and the AM3 socket CPUs were the first gen with.

Back to the original problem, the posix/mprotect problem is confirmed to
be in this branch:

  ++ /usr/lib64/xenomai/regression/posix/mprotect
  memory read
  FAILURE: sigdebug_handler triggered, reason 2
  memory write after exec enable

Regression test run:
http://www.zultron.com/static/2013/01/xenomai/3.5.7-test/foo-xeno-regression-test-3.5.7-test.log

Dmesg:
http://www.zultron.com/static/2013/01/xenomai/3.5.7-test/foo-dmesg-3.5.7.log

Kernel .config:
http://www.zultron.com/static/2013/01/xenomai/3.5.7-test/foo-kernel-3.5.7.config.txt

To minimize confusion (esp. my own) and answer Jan's question, this is
Gilles's ipipe-gch/for-core-3.5.7 kernel (20130113git08f0596) with
xenomai master (20130113git210ed428) and standard xenomai kernel options
from the wiki, plus CPUMASK_OFFSTACK of course.
