So you're saying that any recent Xen with any kernel is failing on
fairly recent hardware.  Have you tried playing with the iommu boot
command line options?

Can you post a complete log of Xen's console output (both hypervisor and
kernel console)?

What is the hardware platform?  Am I right in guessing that you're
seeing this on two distinct machines?

Thanks,
    J
