It might not be those patches that fixed the bug.
I was testing latest xen/stable-2.6.32.x (currently at 2.6.32.27,
definitely has those patches) with zvol when I got the bug, which
manifests itself when starting 4 domUs at boot using xendomains
service. So I tried xen/next-2.6.32 (which was just updated to
2.6.32.28), works fine so far.
So to Guido, if you have time, please try using both
xen/stable-2.6.32.x and xen/next-2.6.32 to verify which version can
solve your problem. Regarding your concern about non-standard systems,
"make-kpkg" might help
(http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/system/kernel-pkg.html).
