I'm still not quite there, but the attached patch gets me a lot
closer.

The hypervisor was taking a pagefault in ptwr_emulated_update() when
pl1e (a map_domain_mem() mapped page) was dereferenced to be
copied. pl1e is a 64 bit type with pae, but only the first 4 bytes
were getting mapped, and there was a case where pl1e would straddle
a page boundary, so it was all over when the high bits were read.

There's probably a better solution, but this at least got me past
linux's kernel_physical_mapping_init(), which is where i was
consistently crashing.
