Upon further investigation, while some part of #810964 may be in Xen,
the biggest issue is in the Linux kernel.

Appears MCE/EDAC support for Xen was implemented around 2008-2012.  Since
that time the maintainer has changed and the new maintainer was unaware
the driver was supposed to function on Xen.

As such the current maintainer has been adding in constructs which are
incompatible with operation on Xen, and at 767f4b620eda overtly broke Xen
support.

Part of the fix may require adjustments to Xen, but right now the
immediate source of breakage is the Linux kernel.

As such I'm reassigning this to src:linux.
