It was a raw image created with dd and stored on an SSD (ext4).
Some of the virtual machines were on traditional hard disks instead (ext4).

Only the running virtual machines got damaged, the main filesystems are 
perfect.

Rebooting. A simple, stupid reboot after upgrading Xen. While rebooting 
the system I got some kind of kernel panic and I had to use magic sysrq 
keys (remount read-only, sync, reboot).
