http://bugzilla.xensource.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1514
has the details.

It looks that the calls to ioremap_nocache return an address
that is not synchronized with the physical address.

This is exhibited only when dom0 has more than 4GB, so if you do dom_mem=max:4GB
the machine boots succesfully.

If I boot the machine without Xen, with Linux seeing 8GB, 4GB, 6GB, or whatnot, 
it
boots succesfully.
