That's really a Xen bug (if real hw behaves well then Xen can 
behave well too, right?) - I suggest you should work it around 
in Xen first - I wanted to wait with applying more invasive 
ioapic changes, that's probably v3.5 material anyway. The 
patches arrived in the middle of the merge window.

Thanks,
