32-bit kernels do not seem to be affected. Typical symptoms look like:
It looks like this is because the kernel sets up int3 (breakpoint) and debug
(watchpoints, etc) to be on a separate debug stack in the tss. Xen doesn't
do this (and doesn't appear to have a mechanism to do so), so I guess the
on-stack format isn't what the kernel expects. Does the patch below work?
