Without seeing the changes you have made for the raid cache, I cant tell
whether you have broken something in Xen.

However, this final error message from vioapic.c proves that you have a
buggy IOAPIC driver dom1 (which I presume is your domU); It is
attempting to read IOAPIC register 0x3 which doesn't exist in real
hardware (or certainly not in any spec I have encountered).

The errors from physdev.c are from physdev_map_pirq().  Given the number
of PCI devices you are trying to pass through, you might have run out of
pirqs for domU, although I would expect a rather more direct error
message.  Try booting xen with "extra_guest_irqs=64" or so.  The default
is for a limit of 32.
