OK, this makes more sense. Can you try a native amd64, built with
DEBUG+DIAGNOSTIC (the XEN3 kernels are built with DEBUG+DIAGNOSTIC, unlike
GENERIC and INSTALL, and this makes a lot of issues like that show up).

keep this one for now. I'll eventally change it from xen to amd64 or kern
if it appears that the issue is not xen-specific.
