Hello,

Fix for this bug has been merged to Jeremy's xen.git xen/stable-2.6.32.x branch.

See: 
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/jeremy/xen.git;a=commit;h=ae333e97552c81ab10395ad1ffc6d6daaadb144a
in: 
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/jeremy/xen.git;a=shortlog;h=xen/stable-2.6.32.x

So the upstream xen/stable-2.6.32.x shouldn't be affected of this issue 
anymore..
Can you verify xen/stable-2.6.32.x works OK for you?
