Here I found a comment in this file, before updating r2 register, as :

            /* ATAGS/DTB: We currently require that the guest kernel to be
             * using CONFIG_ARM_APPENDED_DTB. Ensure that r2 does not look
             * like a valid pointer to a set of ATAGS or a DTB.
             */
            ctxt->user_regs.r2_usr = dom->devicetree_blob ?
                dom->devicetree_seg.vstart : 0xffffffff;


Does it mean that DTB pointer is dummy ?

Value loaded in r2 here is 48000000.
If we subtract offset 3fc00000 from it we get 08400000, which is the physical 
address of DTB.
It fails while dereferencing this pointer.
Do we need to add this address in physical memory map before using it?

I am using following repo :
https://github.com/talex5/xen
where are the patches available?
