I'm wondering a few things:

Which version of Xen are the rest of you using?  I'm on 4.5.

Are the ATA drivers you're using still giant-locked, or are they now
MPSAFE (I'm digging, but I'm at the end of a long thin network pipe
today with only very old source trees on hand)?  Both the ciss and arcmsr
where I've seen this problem are SCSI, and the SCSI subsystem takes
KERNEL_LOCK.
