The one most familiar with xen support in upstream kernel is probably
Konrad, and asking in xen-devel would (hopefully) catch other dev's
attention as well. However even if you find the problem, I doubt
there's much you can do about it as kernel 3.3 is now EOL, and fixes
would probably be on or against latest -rc kernel.

A workaround you can probably try is look at vendor-supported kernels,
e.g. Ubuntu's 3.2 kernel, as those usually have some backport fixes
from later versions.
