Attempting to Get Xen FreeBSD Dom0 working

[David P. Discher]

So, the “working” part … the hypervisor up, and Dom0 running, is correct.  

However, after ~5 minutes, the AHCI buses timeout.  This seems to be constantly reproducible via Dom0.  FreeBSD on the this bare metal does’t have this issue.
