I was not able to have enough working times to investigate the 
problem today.  The problem still occurs with xen-4.0.0-rc2-pre.
Attached the serial log.  EIP:c01ed6c7 is the following function.

c01ed6b0 <read_current_timer>:
c01ed6b0:       81 3d 54 1f 37 c0 80    cmpl   $0xc01ed680,0xc0371f54
c01ed6b7:       d6 1e c0 
c01ed6ba:       89 c1                   mov    %eax,%ecx
c01ed6bc:       b8 ff ff ff ff          mov    $0xffffffff,%eax
c01ed6c1:       74 02                   je     c01ed6c5 
<read_current_timer+0x15>
c01ed6c3:       f3 c3                   repz ret 
c01ed6c5:       0f 31                   rdtsc  
c01ed6c7:       89 01                   mov    %eax,(%ecx)
c01ed6c9:       31 c0                   xor    %eax,%eax
c01ed6cb:       c3                      ret    
c01ed6cc:       8d 74 26 00             lea    0x0(%esi),%esi
