Someone is attempting to set _PAGE_GLOBAL bit in one of the page-table entries. XenLinux should never do this -- do you have any suspicious-looking modules installed in your kernel that may need fixing? Alternatively we could silently drop the bit rather than killing the guest. :-)

It would be interesting to know, if you kill the test that fails above in the Xen code, whether your problems all go away. It's the test that starts:
    if ( unlikely(l1v & (_PAGE_GLOBAL|_PAGE_PAT)) )
