Yeah, this is a known issue, and many people have seen it with new udev 
versions.

See these emails for earlier discussion:
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2010-05/msg01462.html
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2010-05/msg01475.html

Also a friend of mine (CC) wrote this RFC-patch:
http://www.axu.tm/~ams/xen.diff.txt

Jeremy: Can we get a fix committed to xen/stable-2.6.32.x (and I guess to 
xen/stable-2.6.31.x aswell) ?

Jan: Did you guys sort this out in Novell kernels already?
