Should be fixed by cset 11672 on unstable.

Linux, by default, will only use the first 8 processors in the system.
What's NR_CPUS in your kernel config?

That's not good.  I'm optimistic that it was fixed by csets 11622 and
11624 of xen-unstable, but I've never been able to reproduce this
reliably enough to test.  Could you have another go, please?
