Xen-unstable supports xsave/xrstor. You are using kernel 3.x.x, which
should support xsave/xrstor too. You can try to set xsave=0 in xen.gz
line of grub entry and boot again. Something like this:

kernel /boot/xen.gz blah blah xsave=0
module blah blah
blah

Oh, i see, it's some new functionality. I will try it tomorrow and then let you 
know how it goes.

Thank you for the help.

The xsave=0 command line parameter solves the problem.

Thank you,
Francisco
