Is there a workaround?

If this was just fot testing then i would recommend you do it in a different environment: bare metal/vmware/virtual box.
I do not know a lot about Xen, but can you try running it in hvm mode instead of paravirtualized ?
Also we are currenty using a 3.12 kernel upstreamed from SUSE Enterprise Storage version 3 which requires a special build to support Xen. We do have plans to upgrade to a 4.4 kernel soon (used in SUSE Enterprise Storage version 4), which to my understanding does support Xen as well as bare metal from within a single kernel build. So it may work when we do this upgrade.
Again if this for testing, i recommend running under a different environment.

Thanks for the follow up. I did try both pv and hvm before posting. It's great that future (soon) versions might support Xen vifs and storage devices. PetaSan would be a very neat way to build a HA distributed storage cluster for Citrix Xenserver.
I do plan to proceed on bare metal soon.
