Yes, more than 100 migrations. we hit this issue around 3 times.

I dumped vmcore when guest crashed, from vmcore everything
looked good, fb_info, xenfb_info and so on.

Checked the calltrace I suspected when guest resuming, the process kevent
scheduled and refresh xenfb. look like when call notify_remote_via_irq(),  better
to confirm irq is valid? 

Please review new patch.
