Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] domU crash by large disk operations on dom0
User-agent: Microsoft-Entourage/11.3.3.061214
Almost certainly this is a jump at bm->dma_cb() == NULL. Possibly a DMA
control block has been queued up twice or something like that.

This whole area of code is rewritten in qemu 0.90, as used in xen-unstable.
You may have success using xen-unstable's qemu-0.90 on xen 3.1.
