I don't thinks there's any generic resource about this issues, your best
bet is to google for them, this is for example the patch related to that
hw errata:

http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2013-01/msg01016.html

It contains a link to the Intel SDM that has more info about the erratas.

Can you paste the DomU configuration file (debian.cfg)?

Can you run the same command with xl -vvv instead (it will print more
verbose debug info)? Also, can you paste the contents of
/var/log/xen/qemu-dm-freebsd.log?
