Thanks a lot!

I tried to reproduce this on my machines and some guys from my team
did also some tests. We were not able to reproduce anything reported
by Doug. Recently I repeated the tests on QEMU 2.8.0 with OVMF from
https://www.kraxel.org/repos/jenkins/edk2/ (20170213.b2458.g5b97eb4).
Without any issues too. I need more details about tests environments
(exact host kernel version and config, QEMU and OVMF versions and config,
exact Xen and dom0 kernel versions and config, etc.). It would be nice
to get access to one of these physical machines on which issues are
surfacing too.
