The BUG is "BUG_ON ( bdf >= ivrs_bdf_entries );" and ivrs_bdf_entries
has come from ACPI -- do you have the latest firmware in this machine?

I'm afraid that without some more information (e.g. a stack trace) I
think this is going to be pretty hard to track down.

Can you either configure a serial console
(http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_Serial_Console) or use the "noreboot"
option on the hypervisor command line to capture a digital picture of
the error.

Thanks,
Ian.
