Yes it was.

I'm still learning of course, I missed this. So basically
Xen is mapped on 0x5000000 - ...
Dom0 kernel on 0x8000000 - ...

If an address isn't in those ( physical ) ranges then it's userspace.
Is that correct?

I was just assuming since it's a trap but it could indeed be one Xen
isn't set up to receive. Since I'm using a recent linux kernel and
wasn't doing anything funny, just normal usage, I was thinking the
'odd factor' was Xen underneath. I'll figure out which instruction
e8513f00 is.

Thanks for the help.
