I not see the MMIO error on logs, what must I do to see it or any
similar debug information?
Tell me if I must do other specific test or you need other details.

Without the patch you ought to have seen "bad mmio size ..."

I was unable to see the MMIO error on each log files also before the patch.
I don't know if I have enable sufficent debug to log them.
And I have no ideaon how to do it.

This is a guest warning (from log level perspective), so by default
would be visible in a rate limited fashion. If you want to be certain,
just add "loglvl=all guest_loglvl=all". But I'm more and more
convinced that the information we got from you originally was
misleading.

On grub.cfg now I have:
...
multiboot       /boot/xen.gz placeholder dom0_mem=4G,max:4G loglvl=all 
guest_loglvl=all
...
But I'm unable to see debug related information in log files.

Log files? There can be a pertinent log file only if you have some
daemon running transferring the hypervisor log into a log file.
Otherwise you need to look at "xl dmesg" output.

Thanks for reply.

qemu seem to crash at domU's xorg loading, nothing on logs about the crash, only the last line added on xl dmesg above and on qemu log:
qemu: terminating on signal 1 from pid 8485

I found strange things on xl dmesg logs above about domU (I put it in bold and starred).
Thanks for any reply.

This was the test of Anthony Perard with all details about the problem:
http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2013-05/msg02050.html 

See the "bad mmio size 16" and "MMIO emulation failed @ ..."
messages there?

So my questions are:
- Is your patch aimed to completely solve cpus instrictions with MMIO 
operands > 8 byte or
- does it need also some qemu changes?

The patch is aiming at completely solving the in-hypervisor
emulation issues with operands of more than 8 bytes in size.

Whether on top of that a qemu change is also necessary I
don't know, but I wouldn't have expected so.

Someone qemu maintainer on this?
Thanks for any reply.

Jan
