System: NetBSD kaeru 3.99.21 NetBSD 3.99.21 (build.kaeru.xen3) #23: Wed Jul 12 21:58:30 JST 2006 takashi@kaeru:/home/takashi/work/kernel/build.kaeru.xen3 i386

>Description:
	after switching one of my machines from xen2 to xen3,
	i occasionally (less frequently than once a day) see lwps in domU
	stucking in "biowait", "vflushbuf".  (and "vnlock").
	i guess in some cases bio requests get stuck or lost?

	i haven't successfully checked if it was the whole xbd or just
	some requests being stuck.

	- it's a single processor machine.
	- both of dom0 and domU are netbsd-current.
	  (i haven't noticed the problem on linux domU yet,
	  but it can be a matter of luck.)
	- it used to work fine with xen2.
