Hm, does it fail b/c udev can't online the sysfs entry?

It does work on my box. So I am not sure if this is related to the
IvyTown box you are using. Does it work on other machines?

One of the fixes is this one:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/xen/devel/284897

but the other ones I had not seen. I am wondering if the
update_sd_lb_stats is b/c of the previous conditions (that is the
tick_nohz_idle_start hadn't been called).

It is a shoot in the dark - but if you use the above mentioned patch
do you still see the update_sd_lb_stats crash?

Could you give some more details? Could you include the /var/log/xen/qemu-... 
log file?
You are using the traditional QEMU right? (you need to have this in your guest
config:
device_model_version = 'qemu-xen-traditional'
