Getting deeper into it. The faulty entries seems not to be the CPUxCST, 
but CPUxIST
for CPU2 and up. For a reason I don't know, native booting the kernel 
doesn't run
into this issue. I have managed to get a veeeeery detailed ACPI debug 
output now
from the Xen/Dom0 kernel, will try to do the same with native booted 
Kernel tomorrow.

I know already that the natively booting kernel will also run through 4 
CPUs, even
though my CPU has only 2 cores. So it must be something different. There 
is special
code in the acpi driver section for xen in the pvops kernel...

Jeremy, did you do it? Who could possibly help? I am not a real 
specialist...

Did not attached the log, in case anybody is interested...it's 31MB.

BR,
Carsten.
