Tested on a Dell poweredge 2850 with 2 Xen 3,2Ghz (single-core, hyperthread)
with:
pchb0 at pci0 dev 0 function 0
pchb0: Intel E7525 Memory Controller Hub (rev. 0x09)
ppb0 at pci0 dev 2 function 0: Intel E7525 PCI Express Port A (rev. 0x09)

Boot fails with obvious interrupts issues (messages from ehci controller
which looks like timeouts; 'lost interrupts' from cmdide).
With plain GENERIC from HEAD, there's no such issues.

So this is one platform where it fails.
