Dear:
Finally, I downgrade Xen 4.0 to 3.4.2
And it stable, no more crash.

As Manuel Bouyer said, I believe it should be a bug in Xen4.0.
If I get more time, I'll try to find out what's the cause.

Thank you, all.

NetBSD works fine and lives long with/without vif and xbd, under
normal operating ^^

It's default bridge setting from SLES and Xen
It would be like this
brectl show

However, as my downgrade test, I think it's Xen4.0's problem. :P
