qemu's doing the device emulation and it does not implement the device's
watchdog timer. You need to switch to a different emulated nic, or 
patch the re(4) driver so that it doesn't expect a watchdog.

Two ways:

1. Change the vif type in XenServer to be e1000 or ne2k

2. There is a patch for NetBSD that disables the watchdog timer. A quick
google search will find it for you. You might need to massage it a bit
to get it to apply to -current.
