I assume this should be a Citrix bug….

Seems like the bug : 

Xen 4.1.1 has a bug where the emulated CDROM/DVD drive in an HVM guest fails to 
work properly. This bug has been fixed in Xen 4.1.2 and later versions. The 
symptoms of this bug are lost interrupts and frozen ata commands in the kernel 
dmesg log. See this email thread for more information: 
http://old-list-archives.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2011-10/msg02147.html 

documented in : 

http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_4.1_Release_Notes

does not get corrected…
