I think this is more likely to relate to the failure to initialise swiotlb due to the failure of xen_create_contiguous_region, leading to a panic. IIRC the guest won't be privileged enough to make this call unless it has PCI passthrough enabled. In a pre-pvops kernel the swiotlb would be inactive in a domU unless specifically requested on the command line but in Jeremy's xen/master branch it looks like it is unconditionally enabled for dom0 and domU as a consequence of: commit 4bc6b1a9dd5d7447af8c3d27c1449f73f5f764ec Author: root <root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Nov 5 16:33:10 2009 -0500 Enable Xen-SWIOTLB if running in [non-]privileged and disable the Xen-IOMMU if an IOMMU is detected. On a related note I don't think the xen-swiotlb code should panic() if it cannot allocate the contiguous region (at least in domU). Chances are if it hasn't got privilege to make the fixups it isn't going to have any devices.
