It seems to happen to both, dom0 and domU. It seems also to affect everything
which is using gnutls, which is maybe evaluating the cpu flags, as far as I
understood the linked ticket.

OK, sounds like a reasonable test. I will report it in the next mail.

I will add this patch too, maybe that provides some more informations.
Thanks for your hints!
