The problem is caused by:

commit 3a885582a366caf868b0782041c44854ff4c3568
Author: Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@...citrix.com>

    xen/arm: account for stolen ticks

that is in my tree for linux-next (even though I have not received any
replies from the ARM maintainers so I don't know when and if it is going
to go upstream).

I think that the best thing to do would be to add a couple of ifdef
CONFIG_PARAVIRT in arch/arm/xen/enlighten.c. I'll add them to my tree.
