Unfortunately the bug is marked as private but it's

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1085025

FWIW it was also observed on AWS. There is speculation that
switching to HVM may fix it. If that were the case, then it's
highly likely that this is a bug in the Xen paravirt code.

It would also mean that if you cannot switch over to HVM then
the most appropriate fix would be to not use aesni-intel.
