That means that probably nobody got HVM working with this processor yet.

As you see, some 9XX models are supported in then wiki's list. I have
no idea why exactly your model doesn't work with Xen. This can have
multiple reasons:

- your board doesn't support it (with some boards HVM doesn't work
even with a HVM Processor)
- the processor is an exception from the 900 series
- Xen doesn't work well together with the processor

You can at least use Xen in paravirtual mode instead of hardware
virtualization mode.

As said above, maybe it's the board. You can nag your dealer and Intel
whyx they sell stuff that doesn't work well with hvm.
