Hi Ewan,
I did a "hg pull -u" on my tree which also got the changeset 11422. but I am still facing the same problem. btw this changeset seems to be specific to hvm domain while I am facing this problem with paravirtualized domain.

Thanks,
Sanjay

I've put some changes into xen-unstable today which might help.  The last fix
is on its way through testing now.  Look out for xen-unstable changeset
11422, and try that, see how you get on.
