Did you try using mayoung's "xendom0" kernel rpms? They're based on actual rhel 6.0/6.1 kernels..
(the kernel you're using now sounds like upstream kernel - not rhel6 kernel).

xen hypervisor/tools rpms: http://xenbits.xen.org/people/mayoung/EL6.xen/
xendom0 kernel for el6: http://xenbits.xen.org/people/mayoung/testing/
