OK, I think I can see what's going on here: you've got a shiny
new CPU that supports the new "mwait" instruction, which is
causing us to select the wrong idle loop.

Please can you edit select_idle_routine in
arch/xen/arch/kernel/process.c to remove the if clause at the top
of the function. Christian may be able to suggest a cleaner fix,
but I think that should do it.

Thanks,
Ian
