Not really. You only need modules for non-devices, unless your using PCI
passthrough to the guest.

For instance, iptables, ext3, jfs, etc, if these aren't statically
compiled into the kernel. In most cases these would be on an initrd
anyway.

Unless the netfront / blockfront drivers are not static in the kernel,
you shouldn't have to worry about anything else.

If you exported a PCI device, you'd need the module for that device.

I'm really starting to suspect that e1000 is your issue. However, having
those other modules in the dom-u shouldn't really matter, the crash is
on dom-0.

That just shows that you have ipv6 iptables support .. shouldn't matter.
You could recompile a special kernel for dom-0 or dom-u's if your never
going to use ipv6 .. however just having support for it should not be
causing this problem.
