This is pretty surprising. When a domU is actually running, dom0 isn't
really involved (other than for IO), so its surprising grsec makes a
difference.

Do you get any console output from the guest before it crashes? I'm
wandering if its actually been built incorrectly by the domain builder
running in dom0.

It's looks like its dieing trying to do an instruction fetch from
ffffffff80200000 which is presumably the page fault handler. 

Are you using a debug build of Xen? You may get some more helpful
output.
