I have started to see this error as well now on a Fedora Rawhide + xen-tip/next dom0 kernel on Fedora 11 and a Fedora 11 domU. The base system has just been reinstalled and used to be running Fedora 8 dom0, the domU machine hasn't changed. This is on a fairly old machine with 512M memory shared between the two instances.
/var/log/messages is packed with errors like
net eth0: rx->offset: 0, size: 4294967295
with the more occasional
__ratelimit: 25 callbacks suppressed
about every 10 lines, while updating some packages using rpm where the packages are on an NFS mount, which is maybe running at 1/10th or less the speed than I would expect. The network setup on dom0 is
bridge
name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
eth0 8000.0011110a766f no peth0
vif4.0
with only a handful of dropped packets on vif4.0

I tried enabling debugging in drivers/xen/netback/netback.c by setting
#define NETBE_DEBUG_INTERRUPT
but when I try to build the kernel I get the error
