Hmmm have you tried do do a lot of I/O with something else as NFS ?
That would perhaps pinpoint it to NFS doing something not completely compatible
with Xen.
I'm not using NFS (I still use file: based guests, and i use glusterfs (fuse
based userspace cluster fs) to share diskspace to domU's via ethernet).
I tried NFS in the past, but had some troubles setting it up, and even more
problems with disconnects.
I haven't seen any "unable to handle page request" problems with my mix of
guest kernels, which includes some 2.6.37-rc1 kernels.
