It is an idea.
It is probable that you won't have any answer as the Xen support is
unmaintained:

Feel free to make a patch to try fixing it or we can remove this
whole dead code.

If that is the case then I would suggest to zero all memory on EAL init 
(only for Xen) so
all memory is zeroed after init for both Linux and Xen.

What do you think about that?

I did not check it, but from the tests I've done, I suppose they're not.

I just did a quick test, adding the memset() at the places where I
thought it could be required. Maybe the patch is a bit overkill and only
the zmalloc part fixes the issue.

Are you saying that when we allocate pages/hugepages from Xen they are 
not zeroed?

The commit you are referring to does not touch the memzone reserve APIs, 
only changes zmalloc and related APIs.

I reproduced the issue on my platform. In my case, the crash occurs in 
rx_queue_setup():

 /* Free memory prior to re-allocation if needed. */
 if (dev->data->rx_queues[queue_idx] != NULL) {
=>  em_rx_queue_release(dev->data->rx_queues[queue_idx]);
 dev->data->rx_queues[queue_idx] = NULL;
 }

I don't this we should go in that area for the first rx queue 
initialization. I suspect it could be related to this commit:
http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk/commit/?id=ea0bddbd14e68f

I think we cannot expect that memory is initialized at 0 when using Xen 
dom0. If I add the following (dirty) patch, I don't see a crash anymore:
