Does it have something to do with > singleshot timer migration when offlining/onlining SMP CPUs? Sadly, no. I was not able to replicate this on my machines (I did test on Xen 4.1). However, as I saw this issue appears on Xen 3.4 and 4.0 (IIRC version numbers used on your machines). Additionally, it does not depend on CPU models. And it appears quite often but not always. Maybe it is linked with singleshot timer migration.
