I've been running with Xen3 SMP for a few days now and have only experienced
one reproducable problem (which is now the only problem since completely
configuring the system).

Occaisionally I/O will just stop (scp, console, demesg, you name it) but 
lauching xentop and closing it (opening and closing, opening and closing) 
prods it to continue on.

Not sure if this is any help, but thought I'd mention it. I thought it was
strange that xentop could coax it into continuing. The only kernel
flags I am using are noapic and acpi=off (I'll be adding nosmp to that
shortly :).
