I think this is addressed, maybe in full, by this patchset, presented
in the midst of getting 4.3 in order:

http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2013-05/msg02492.html

I have used this for the last 3 months.  The noted i915 issue was
resolved by later updates to the kernel or X driver, as 3.10.1 is
running smoothly.  The only issue I have observed is that although Xen
correctly powers off the system in response to a dom0-initiated
shutdown, Xen is not currently rebooting - I have to let the system
wind down and then do a power cycle.

The patchset is an update to a set originally submitted by Tang Liang,
which I gather was based on work done by Suse.  Given that the patches
are 100% kernel-side (the Xen code was put in place some time ago),
what needs to be done for acceptance by the LKML folks?
