Your Linux instance has no valid virtual address for the Xen-private
page tables (machine_to_virt() is only usable for pages of memory that
are permanently mapped into Linux's address space). In fact, Xen won't
allow any domain to map any of it's private memory, so there is no way
for you to print the PT contents from Linux, unless you hack the
mapping-checking code in Xen.
