In that case, the easy way is to downgrade using the working package :)
I'd start with downgrading the kernel first, then if doesn't work,
start with other packages. Or compile yourself from source.

I have a xen 4.0.1 environment, which (for most part) works as
expected, and not having your problems. So I'd suggest you also ask
Debian guys.
