Can you try adding "noreboot" to the hypervisor command line and see if
you get any output which you couldn't see before?
Can you also separately try adding "nopat" to the kernel command line.
I assume the hypervisor was identical in your -10 vs. -11 tests?
It's likely that this issue will be easiest to address on xen-devel
rather than in the Debian BTS.

Why are you doing this to me?
Because knowledge is torture, and there must be awareness before
there is change.
