Can you pass in pci=nomsi on the Linux kernel line just to see if it is
indeed MSI (or vector) related.

I still see the delay with pci=nomsi. The dmseg output from that boot is attached.

And also under the Xen hypervisor serial line print out the PCI MSI irq and IRQ 
vectors
values? Don't remember the debug keys - but the point is to see if for your 
AHCI controller:
0000:00:1f.2 and 0000:00:1f.1, there is an MSI vector allocated for it.

I tried various xm debug-keys (M,Q,i and z) on a boot without pci=nomsi. The output of xm dmesg afterwards is attached.
