OK. So we need to dig in this a bit further. Can you enable all of the
debugging options on Xen and Linux and send the serial log? And also
run 'apic=debug' on Xen command line. Pasi's PV-OPS Wiki page has a
whole section on what to set for a full debug enabled boot.

Another thing that might be worth checking is to boot the PV-OPS kernel
with a 3.4-testing Xen hypervisor (it actually does boot at least on my
SuperMicro X8DBN+- but don't try to use the 4.x-unstable tool stack with
it :-)).

That would eliminate the problem being in the Linux kernel.

FYI, I don't have a PS/2 mouse, but I do have a PS/2 keyboard that works
OK.
