Most likely the driver has tried to send a bogus page to a domU.
Because it's bogus the transfer fails. The driver then tries to free
the page back to Xen, but that also fails because the page is bogus.
This confuses the driver, which then BUG()s out.
It's not at all clear where the bogus address comes from: the driver
basically just reads the address out of an skbuff, and converts it from
virtual to physical address. But something is obviously going wrong,
perhaps under memory pressure. :-(
