I'm not sure there's a better solution than not building/initialising
arch/acpi/processor_core.c on Xen. The processor-specific ACPI code isn't
going to run well on Xen where dom0 VCPUs may migrate around and not even
see all physical CPUs. The warnings you see are scary looking but harmless.

I suspect we've never noticed these before because we build the acpi
processor code as a module that we never load.
