Yes. I ran this little loop:

#!/bin/bash

ID=`xl list | grep Fedora | awk '  { print $2}'`

rm -f cpu*.log
while (true) do
	xl pause $ID
	 /usr/lib64/xen/bin/xenctx -s /mnt/tmp/FC15-32/System.map-3.0.0-rc6-julie-tested-dirty -a $ID 0 >> cpu0.log
	 /usr/lib64/xen/bin/xenctx -s /mnt/tmp/FC15-32/System.map-3.0.0-rc6-julie-tested-dirty -a $ID 1 >> cpu1.log
	 /usr/lib64/xen/bin/xenctx -s /mnt/tmp/FC15-32/System.map-3.0.0-rc6-julie-tested-dirty -a $ID 2 >> cpu2.log
	 /usr/lib64/xen/bin/xenctx -s /mnt/tmp/FC15-32/System.map-3.0.0-rc6-julie-tested-dirty -a $ID 3 >> cpu3.log
	xl unpause $ID
done

To get an idea what the CPU is doing before it hits the task_waking_fair
and there isn't anything daming. Here are the logs:

Of course. Let me queue that up.
