We are still having this problem too.  We only have it on some hosts,
not others so its related to some activity in the domUs - we haven't
figured out what though.  The backtrace suggests UDP traffic

I'm prety sure we didn't miscompile our modules - I disassembled them
to check for cli/sti.  The kernel was compiled using

  make-kpkg --arch xen --append_to_version -xen --revision=2.6.11 kernel_image

We see this with the e1000 driver, using kernel 2.6.11.7 + debian
patches + xen stable 2.0.5, on dell poweredge 750 hardware.

No functionality appears to be affected, other than 1000s of these
messages in the log.
