Perhaps these patches (especially Stefano's) could make a difference ?
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1011.1/02348.htmlI don't think these are applied to your domU kernel since it's git8, it worth the shot i guess...

Copied 700 MB ISO images from NFS folder at Dom0 to DomU and scp'ed them back to Dom0. During about 30 - 40 min DomU ran pretty stable , regardless kernel crash as "unable to handle page request" was reported once by F14 DomU, but it didn't actually crash DomU. Same excersises with replacement F14 by Ubuntu 10.04 Server results DomU crash in about several minutes. Dom0's instances dual boot on same development box ( Q9500,ASUS P5Q3,8GB)
