Before this patch the domU's org was always 100% cpu, spice show black 
screen and is possible a xl shutdown, after at xorg start, show domU's 
mouse in center in spice and domU crash.
I'm unable to debug it, can you tell me what I must do to debug it and 
give you all possibile information?
This is the exact git I used for my tests:
https://github.com/Fantu/Xen/tree/rebase/m2r-staging
Contains some libxl patch about spice used for a long time and with only 
qxl problem on linux domUs (with windows domUs is working good since 
your patch of long time ago about similar istructions and same 
performance as kvm after one or more patches in xen-unstable that I not 
know exactly and is still working also with this patch).
Thanks for any reply and sorry for my bad english.
