What sub-arch is Xen built for (32, pae, 64)? Are you using NPT or shadow
mode? I'd suggest write a bit of code to dump %cr3, and check e.g., are you
running on the v->arch.monitor_table. Dump all entries in the top-level page
directory -- are they all populated, or is entry 0 the only lowmem one to be
populated? Dump the pagetable walk all the way down to the mapping of
address 0: what machine address is mapped there?

I.e., basically just dump some interesting stuff and let's narrow it down
from there.
