I'm debugging a hang of 64bit HVM guest with PV drivers. The problem happens during migrate. So far I've discovered that the guest is stuck in loop receiving interrupt 0xa9/169. In the hypervisor I see that upon vmx exit, it sends 0xa9 right away...

I'm now trying ot figure out the IP that causes vm exit so I can figure where in the guest/guest-driver its writing to the APIC. On the guest side, I see that evtchn_pending_sel is not set in evtchn_interrupt().

Any ideas/suggestions would be great as it is a critical bug.

Thanks
Mukesh
