I'm working on a fix for this in the driver and should have one soon. Not only does this cause dom0 to panic in certain high-traffic cases, but most packets sent from the domU will have an incorrect checksum, and as a result will get dropped on the floor by a router or by the destination.

It would be interesting to know if disabling LSO and scatter-gather in
the Windows PV driver causes the panic to abate.
Unfortunately, no.
With older version (GPLPV 0.9.12-pre13, the last working version for
Opensolaris/Win2008 x64), disabling LSO was enough. In the new version
(0.10.0.55) disabling both LSO and SG still cause dom0 panic.

Looking more, disabling scatter gather in the driver properties
doesn't actually change its' behaviour - the driver still tries to use
it whether or not the backend declares support :-(
