Is this a Xen problem or just a Redhat problem?  I personally noticed 
this when moving to 2.6.11 way back when, and I backgrounded the 
"$HOTPLUG scsi_device" and "$HOTPLUG scsi" lines in start_udev.  For 
some reason hotplugging these serially would take about 30 seconds per 
disk, even if the disk didn't even exist.  Not sure if this is the same 
problem.  Some (any!) debug info in start_udev would have been nice...
