Public bug reported: Hi,
Applying the Spectre/Meltdown patched kernel (3.2.0-133-generic -
precise ESM), it's not possible to boot my xen domUs anymore (dom0 is
fine). It works fine with 3.2.0-131-generic and 3.13.0-141-generic (lts-
trusty with Spectre/Meltdown mitigations).
This is with xen 4.1.6.1-0ubuntu0.12.04.13
