Please stop dropping xen-devel from the CC list.
There is, at present, no override for Xen to manually set the RSDP.
As for the MP table; It appears well formed and actively wrong.
Unless you are specifically looking to do something EFI based, I suggest
you use GPT and legacy boot. There is still a lot of work-in-progress
to get Xen EFI working sensibly. In this specific case, grub is calling
ExitBootServices() before handing off to Xen, leaving Xen functionally
crippled as far as booting goes.
