I have experienced similar problems on my Gentoo / Xen system.  I
haven't had time to properly investigate but it seems that the Xen
kernels and >=xen(-tools)-3.2 cause the problem, I'm currently on
3.1.3-r1.  Perhaps you had emerged new versions a while ago but only
just restarted and they've just taken effect?  I'm really looking
forward to the merge of the pv_ops dom0 code to mainline to see if this
fixes it for me.
