Yep.

Or translated.  Maybe it grooks due to being fed with an invalid bus
address where it can't DMA do.

Didn't try, and can't easily because it is a headless box sitting in the
corner.  Speaking of memory:  IIRC ahci can do 64bit DMA, which legacy
IDE can't.  Maybe that makes AHCI trigger the bug while it doesn't
happen with IDE?

Dunno.  No speakers connected, and I don't have some offhand.

Oh, that are some qemu-xen.latest testruns.  Trying to run hvm domains
crashes it.  Didn't investigate yet why.  Could be that it simply
depends on changes in xen-unstable and can't work as drop-in replacement
for the xen-3.3 qemu-dm version.
