Any chance the initrd attempts to load the raid6 module?
If so, can you try to prevent it from doing that?  I'm not
sure how the initrd decides which raid modules it should
pick, maybe it's simply listed in /etc/sysconfig/kernel,
in the INITRD_MODULES variable.

Just loading the raid6 module in a xen domain makes my
machine oops, log below.  I'd guess it's because the
module attempts to use mmx within the kernel, which is
a bit tricky because you have to save/restore userspace
fp state for that.  Could be a corner case which simply
doesn't work with xen.
