Can you try to limit the guest and the domU to only use one CPU each?
And pin them? It might be that you are missing a couple of memory barriers
and you get your producer/consumer indexes out of sync?

Does the hypervisor serial console work? If so, you can make it print where
the guest or the Dom0 are stuck (it will only give you the eip, and a jumble
of stack, but you should be able to find where what those addresses correspond
to).
