If u are using this kernel, a quick try is use acrn_defconfig instead of xenomai_test_defconfig.
It is the defconfig using by ACRN team:
https://github.com/intel/linux-stable-xenomai/blob/F/4.19.59/base/ipipe/xenomai_3.1/arch/x86/configs/acrn_defconfig

xenomai_test_defconfig was originally from Yocto, not optimized for PC. 
We are struggling for a good way to make proper defconfig, 
but it's really hard work due to kernel config are more than 8000 lines already.
