So these patches still need to be applied to Xen 4.2 branch:

"[PATCH] libxl: don't launch more than one tapdisk process for each disk"
http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=xen.git;a=commit;h=ec398660e89ca18bb8d061d5047d682bd383778a

Xen 4.2 backport of the above patch is here:
http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2013-03/msg00778.html


And now there's other tapdisk patch in xen-unstable aswell:

"tools: Retry blktap2 tapdisk message on interrupt":
http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=xen.git;a=commit;h=6cffb2b469a55032a2900ccb8776c0082f346758

Both are needed in Xen 4.2 branch, please backport/apply before next Xen 
4.2.2-rc !

I'm asking because we've seen these problems with the CentOS 6 Xen 4.2 rpms,
and it'd be good to get them fixed in upstream Xen 4.2 aswell.

Thanks,
