But the .config settings were the clue in our case.

When we recompiled debian's wheezy kernel source with .config from
SLES 11 SP2 or Alpine Linux (recent xen'ed kernel) the block
IO issue disappeared. We investigated further and it seems that
NUMA options OFF do the trick (Xen + NUMA problem???) but we did not
debug in details ...

Good luck
