Hi Alex and Liuqing,

I hesitate the xenU cases failure issue is caused by the changeset after 15659, 
as we didn't catch xenU failure (can not open tty console) before Changeset 
15659. 

For the xend hang issue, we also catch it in IA32 side. Keir said it should be 
fixed at 15671:0c79a9414f8d (xen-unstable). When this issue happen, VTI domain 
also can not be created. 

Best Regards,
Yongkang You
