Log:
  IPI_TRACE is not really supported on xen
  
  x86 stack_save_td_running() can work safely only if IPI_TRACE is a
  non-maskable interrupt.  But at the moment FreeBSD/Xen does not provide
  support for the NMI delivery mode.  So, mark the functionality as
  unsupported similarly to other platforms without NMI.
  Maybe there is a way to provide a Xen-specific working
  stack_save_td_running(), but I couldn't figure it out.
