Hi,

After updating Xen to 4.22-rc2 on a system with Heads firmware, dom0
doesn't start anymore. It worked fine with Xen 4.19.
The last messages on console are:

    [    1.495140] installing Xen timer for CPU 2

Full console log (containing both successful boot of Xen 4.19, and then
reboot into 4.22):
https://openqa.qubes-os.org/tests/184780/logfile?filename=serial0.txt

It doesn't reach loading graphics driver in dom0, so I don't have
anything interesting on VGA (the last output is about the kexec call
done by Heads). But at least I have a serial console.

This happens both on older Thinkpad t430 (Ivy Bridge), and newer Novacustom V54 
(ADL).
