I have the same problem "Unknown Interrupt" on a DP machine. Looks like
#PF is happening at => when xen is built with debug=y.

static void map_alloc(unsigned long first_page, unsigned long nr_pages)
{
    ...
    curr_idx  = first_page / PAGES_PER_MAPWORD;
    start_off = first_page & (PAGES_PER_MAPWORD-1);
    end_idx   = (first_page + nr_pages) / PAGES_PER_MAPWORD;
    end_off   = (first_page + nr_pages) & (PAGES_PER_MAPWORD-1);

    if ( curr_idx == end_idx )
    {
        alloc_bitmap[curr_idx] &= -(1UL<<end_off) |
((1UL<<start_off)-1);
    }
    else
    {
        alloc_bitmap[curr_idx] &= (1UL<<start_off)-1;
        while ( ++curr_idx != end_idx ) alloc_bitmap[curr_idx] = 0;
 =>       alloc_bitmap[curr_idx] &= -(1UL<<end_off);
    }
}

If I change 
        while ( ++curr_idx != end_idx - 1 ) alloc_bitmap[curr_idx] = 0;
I can work around it.
