The output of "sudo xl -vvv create /etc/xen/qemu-pv.cfg" will help
since it includes how xen invokes qemu.

This says that where you are reporting the error is not
correct.

The message "buffered io page at pfn feffb" is output
after the code that contains shared_vmport_page.

Also posting the data in /var/log/xen/qemu-dm-qemu-hvm.log
will help.


It looks like you are re-starting QEMU on a domain.  This is not
supported as far as I know (and not clear that you are starting the same
version that xen tried).

You are running QEMU 2.2.0 or later based on having
shared_vmport_page in the code.

To get here, xen_get_vmport_regs_pfn() needs to return 0.

In include/hw/xen/xen_common.h:


#ifdef HVM_PARAM_VMPORT_REGS_PFN
static inline int xen_get_vmport_regs_pfn(XenXC xc, domid_t dom,
                                          unsigned long *vmport_regs_pfn)
{
    return xc_get_hvm_param(xc, dom, HVM_PARAM_VMPORT_REGS_PFN,
                            vmport_regs_pfn);
}
#else
static inline int xen_get_vmport_regs_pfn(XenXC xc, domid_t dom,
                                          unsigned long *vmport_regs_pfn)
{
    return -ENOSYS;
}
#endif


requires HVM_PARAM_VMPORT_REGS_PFN to be defined before it will return
0.

I am sure that xen 4.4.1 does not define this (patch that does is
waiting for xen 4.6 to open up).
