I don't have personal experience with it, but maybe dm-ioband is
something that you might want to look into. See:
http://people.valinux.co.jp/~ryov/dm-ioband/manual/examples.html
In particular,
Example #5: Bandwidth control for Xen blktap devices
If you try this out, please report back to the list.
Can others comment on experiences with dm-ioband?
Cheers,
Todd
