That's the kinda weird part about this though... It's not triggering an
Invalid Instruction, but a GPF. Looking at AMD's description of how CLFLUSH
is supposed to work, I don't see why it's faulting with what looks like a
valid address.

While this is probably far outside the scope of what their entry-level
support techs will understand, I can try raising this as a bug with Citrix
under our support contract if you're confident that this is broken on Xen's
end.
