Which drivers are those?

I've been reproducing this fairly reliably with the stock F12 kernel, so 
I think Xen is off the hook.  Still unsure whether its a driver problem 
or something to do with the platform (hardware/BIOS/etc).  It's an Ibex 
Peak-based system, which I think it relatively new.  The BIOS is 1.0a, 
so is probably due for an update...
