I am working on tests to confirm that and I contacted the developers.
Right now uptime is over 8 days.

If my presumption is correct, then you need to understand that it is not 
a problem of Supermicro. In a 2 month testing process I changed the 
mainboard and used one from ASUS and the problems were absolutely the 
same. The problem seems to be between Xen and the platform (not the 
mainboard maker).
I am starting tests with Supermicro X8DTi and E5620 very soon. Since 
this platform has ARAT (always running APIC timer) I expect a working 
platform.
