Xen doesn't implement the vm86 support as yet. It's useful to enumerate

Still, kmodules shouldn't lock the boot process just by lack of vm86
support, should it?
Interesting, on my test system (toshiba tecra laptop) kmodule
gives an oops on startup. I wasn't aware it could get into
an infinite loop, too...
I'll try Xen on other systems to try and figure out what is
going on exactly. Kmodule is near the top of my TODO list ;)
