Thanks for your reply. Reading the link you provided it looks like that adding "acpi=ht noapic" as boot options to the kernel via grub solves this problem or at least for one person. I would like to give it at try but was now wondering where would be the best place to add these two options?
Can I add them in /etc/grub/defaults like that: GRUB_CMDLINE_XEN="dom0_mem=1024M noreboot acpi=ht noapic" run grub-update and reboot ?

The provided kernel "soft lockup" bug log report sounds similar to this: http://xen.1045712.n5.nabble.com/Freeze-with-2-6-32-19-and-xen-4-0-1rc5-tp2643244p2643496.html Maybe by reading the full thread you can find something useful for your case :-? Anyway, if you can fully reproduce the freeze and given the nature of the error (kernel soft lockup) you can also consider writing a bug report.
