Hmm.... sounds like we don't work so well with Crusoe. :-)

Firstly, I don't suggest that looping between lines 132 and 133 is
very wise. The move to %cr0 and the following jump are supposed to
happen right after one another. Put the loop immediately after line
134. 

Then, a few possibilities that might get you further:

Change line 131 to:
 mov %cr0,%eax ; or $0x80050023,%eax
                             ^
                             Note this digit changed!

Change line 133 to:
 ljmp $(__HYPERVISOR_CS),$1f

Let me know how you get on with these changes.

 Cheers,
 Keir
