This doesn't look obviously Xen specific.  At least at one point XFS was
prone to spurious lockdep warnings that were hard to eliminate.  I
wonder if its possible you're seeing this under Xen because of some kind
of timing issue?

Of course it could be Xen related too, but as I said, nothing stands out.
