Just to follow up on this: gentoo-patched 2.6.39 (and 2.6.39-r1) have 
the same behaviour, i.e. I can't get them to boot as PV-on-HVM-kernels 
with a configuration that works for 2.6.38.
The result I'm seeing is that the genkernel-generated ramdisk starts 
scanning for modules, but when reaching either uhci_ucd (to scan for), 
or dm-mirror/dm-snapshot (when usb is disabled), freezes at that point.
In the Dom0 I can see one CPU core of the DomU fully pegged, but other 
than that, the system becomes completely unresponsive.
If there's interest in the config, I can post that.

For now, I've stuck with 2.6.38.
