OK, my recent commit fixed the disk problem, and improved the network
problem. I only see the network hang in a NetBSD domU writing to NFS (
the NFS is also a NetBSD domU and it doesn't have these problems),
but hitting enter on the console unwedges it. It looks like it's loosing
interrupts, I'm going to investigate this issue now.
