This is a bug in the HVM emulation layer. In some cases it needs to emulate
instructions, but it looks like WinXp issues one it was unable to emulate
yet. I checked upstream  xen-unstable.hg  repository there's still no support
for this. Please enter a bugzilla ticket with the details from this mail so
the problem can be tracked.  I'm afraid there's no immediate work around I
can think of to make this work, so you might want to try Windows 2k instead
which I believe has been getting more upstream testing than XP

Regards,
Dan.
