No centralized place so far. The biggest difference has been the NOGPLPV switch.

For Windows 2008 x64 domU I had to do this workaround:
- after installting the driver, DO NOT REBOOT YET
- run bcdedit to add NOGPLV entry
- reboot WITH NOGPLPV, choosing disable driver signature enforcement
- reboot again using standard option (don't select NOGPLPV) and
choosing disable driver signature enforcement. It will say "new disk
installed" (or something like that).
- reboot again, choosing disable driver signature enforcement.
- setup ip address for xen net

However some people said they've successfully install it the normal
way without any workarounds, YMMV.

That looks normal.

I'm out of ideas :P
Try rebooting and see if it works. If not, hopefully James Harper can help you.
