(XEN) d0:v0: unhandled page fault (ec=0003)
(XEN) Pagetable walk from c1268000:


Oh, look, we're not reserving the Xen pagetable, and this time we really should. Does this work for you?

Subject: [PATCH] xen/i386: reserve Xen pagetables

The Xen pagetables are no longer implicitly reserved as part of the other
i386_start_kernel reservations, so make sure we explicitly reserve them.
This prevents them from being released into the general kernel free page
pool and reused.
