I am seeing some suspicious output from the xen_start_info
pte address at startup.  This is with the 2.6.9 Xen code,
which is mostly based off an older code base, but I notice
that mfn_to_pfn() in the current codebase seems to have a
workaround for this bug.

pmde 0000000000886067 (real 0000000035006067) ptep ffffff80008863e0
pte 0000000019800027 (real 0010000035010027)

That last PTE value does not look like a valid x86-64 PTE
value to me.  That high bit is not the NX bit, nor is it
within the physical address range of the system in question.

What's going on here?

Is this a bug you would like a fix for?
