Yeah, this PIIX4 ACPI device is what we consider a "Frankenstein" device here 
on the list. Indeed my PIIX consolidation series aims for eventually replacing 
the remaining PIIX3 devices with PIIX4 ones to present a realistic environment 
to guests. The series you tested makes Xen work with PIIX4. With a couple of 
more patches you might be able to opt into a realistic PIIX4 emulation in the 
future!

Best regards,
Bernhard
