No. But xen/stable does. Without those patches virgin xen/stable boots,
but on Dom0 console I see:

(XEN) mm.c:859:d1008 Error getting mfn 1c1f5 (pfn 5555555555555555) from
L1 entry 800000001c1f5467 for l1e_owner=1008, pg_owner=3273

these forever.

Noted. Haven't played with that - I just boot up tiny guests (20MB or
