Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] accessing domain's page contents from hypervisor
  
> I was trying to read the contents of a domain's L1 page table 
> page from hypervisor.
> The system reboots whenever I dereference the contents of a page.
> I use the map_domain_mem and unmap_domain_mem functions 
> before and after I dereference it.
> Any suggestions on the possible reasons would be really helpful.

map_domain_mem takes a machine address
