Hi Pekka! This has been fixed in 10-STABLE and will be part of the next
BETA release :-) There is also a patch for FreeBSD 9 that they will
hopefully backport. Note, this patch is slightly different than the one
required for 10-STABLE. Big thanks to gibbs and Roger for their work on
Xen.

I do have a bug report for that -- kern/171118. I had a conversation
with someone not too long ago that I'm looking for in my email. It was
suggested that XenServer sends the wrong command.
