1. When will acpi=off support be added to Xen?

We're working on it, but it's likely to be a few days at least.

Great.  I just wanted to hear that it was days and not weeks
or months.

Not sure there is any easy workaround. Linux's apic.c and io_apic.c have been stripped down more than they ought to have been in the process of getting acpi working: we need to work out what functionality needs to be re-added to get acpi=off working.

Thanks, I'll wait patiently.  If you have some changes and would like
them tested, I'd be happy to run them on the x440.
