That stops the errors being printed, but I still have a domain I can't destroy:

$ xl list
Name                                        ID   Mem VCPUs      State   Time(s)
Domain-0                                     0   512     2     r-----      35.6
(null)                                       1     0     1     --ps-d       0.1

I do see this after a bit:

[  240.062339] INFO: task xenwatch:18 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
[  240.062404]       Not tainted 3.16.0-rc7-00004-g9d89db9 #1
[  240.062426] "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs"
disables this message.

The load average is 1.

If I try to create the domain again, I get:

$ xl create -c network.xl
Parsing config from network.xl
libxl: error: libxl_device.c:934:device_backend_callback: unable to
add device with path /local/domain/0/backend/vif/4/0
