I just looked a little more closely at the existing workaround, and now I'm
not sure what the right thing to do is - should I set x86_xsave_features to
0 for Xen in general?
As it shows up on Intel CPUs too, I guess it's a reasonable
woraround for now.


I can confirm that if I set x86_xsave_features to 0 for Xen, the problem AMIs boot on the problem CPUs. I will commit the change later today.
