My config for running the Solaris DomU now is:

name = "solaris_10_July_07"
memory = "368"
vcpus = "1"
disk = [ 'file:/data/xen/Solaris10_xen0707.raw,0,w' ]
vif = [ 'mac=00:0e:0c:3e:18:cd'  ]
on_shutdown = 'destroy'
on_reboot = 'restart'
on_crash = 'destroy'
kernel = "/data/xen/Solaris10_xen0707.kernel"
ramdisk = "/data/xen/boot_archive1"
rootdisk = "/dev/dsk/c0d0s0"
extra = '/platform/i86xpv/kernel/unix -B bootpath=/xpvd/xdf@0:a'

The problem was with the extra line . I think I can remove the -B 
parameter if I update the bootpath entry in the archive but I did not 
test it.

Really? I thought Xen 3.1 should support ACPI but I may be wrong.
