Hi,

inside vmx_ivt.S:

// 0x5400 Entry 24 (size 16 bundles) General Exception (5,32,34,36,38,39)
ENTRY(vmx_general_exception)
    VMX_DBG_FAULT(24)
    VMX_FAULT(24)
//    VMX_REFLECT(24)
END(vmx_general_exception)

IIRC, VMX_FAULT is an infinite loop.  Therefore, in case of general exception 
raised at the hots IVT, xen locks.

Is it a bug or something not finished ?

Tristan.
