While I haven't tried it, someone claims to have used a different kernel
under Xen and found success:

http://www.scribd.com/doc/3905321/PREVIEW-CloudCrunch-Howto-Asterisk-PBX-and-Amazon-EC2

The article claims that the specified kernel will find success, the key to
that kernel is that the timing is compiled for 1000Hz, and that's
important. (Amazon EC2 runs Xen, how modified I don't know).

I've heard others who have patched zaptel drivers to use a different
timing source, and have Asterisk use zaptel timing as a source, with
success. Again, rumors, not tried personally.
