Hey Jeremy,

Thanks for the reply.  I checked out the 2.6.31.4-rt14 tag from your git repo, 
built it, and I'm running into the same hanging suspend issue on Xen 3.0.3 and 
3.1.2.  Xen 3.3 is able to save the VM without a problem (it could with the 
vanilla 2.6.31 tree as well).

Xen logs are still pretty quiet during the 'xm save':

DEBUG (__init__:1072) [xc_save]: /usr/lib64/xen/bin/xc_save 28 500 0 0 0
DEBUG (__init__:1072) suspend
DEBUG (__init__:1072) In saveInputHandler suspend
DEBUG (__init__:1072) Suspending 500 ...
DEBUG (__init__:1072) XendDomainInfo.shutdown(suspend)
DEBUG (__init__:1072) XendDomainInfo.handleShutdownWatch
DEBUG (__init__:1072) XendDomainInfo.handleShutdownWatch

Do you have a working .config you'd recommend to use as a failsafe?
