Thanks, but I'm afraid it's not due to that (I have the patch and it
did not help). One thing that I have to clarify for once, though: so
there is no mapping to XAPIC_BASE to inmates, right? The sole way of
having it is linking with libinmate and issuing apic_init()? I tried
an ugly hack of adding it at vcpu_map_memory_region(), with no
success.

Thanks.
