Ewan, I didn't notice 514, but I submitted a related bug
http://bugzilla.xensource.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=549.  It appears that
the big deciding factor on whether or not I see the race is is the DomU that
is rebooting running on a fully independant CPU from Dom0.  If it is, it
breaks every time, if it isn't (i.e. it is on the *same* phys CPU as Dom0)
it works every time.
