Yes. My line is:

kernel /boot/xen-4.2-unstable.gz dom0_mem=1500M dom0_max_vcpus=4 
iommu=dom0-passthrough sched=credit loglvl=all guest_loglvl=all 
com2=115200,8n1 console=com2
(I've also seen an error very similar to what that you're seeing with 
the extra logging turned off, but under different circumstances, so that 
one doesn't seem to require it.)
