I meant to annotate the following table a bit more:

For example, the second entry (that which I think is the pfn to mfn  
ptes):
(gdb) x/32x xen_phys_machine
0xc028c000:     0x000d16ee      0x000d160e
0xc028c008:     0x000d161b      0x000d161e
0xc028c010:     0x000d1620      0x000fb1fa
0xc028c018:     0x000d1603      0x000d1604
(gdb) x/32g 0xfde00000
0xfde00000:     0x00000000d16ee023      0x00000000d160e023
0xfde00010:     0x00000000d161b023      0x00000000d161e023
0xfde00020:     0x00000000d1620023      0x00000000fb1fa023
0xfde00030:     0x00000000d1603023      0x00000000d1604023
(gdb)

The third (readable) entry appears to be the recursive page table  
mapping region:
# ./xenctrl 1 -l3 0xfb046 dump 0xfdfec000 16384
0xfdfec000:      -- page of zeros --   Address space 0x0 - 0x4000.0000
0xfdfed000:      -- page of zeros --   Address space 0x4 - 0x8000.0000
0xfdfee000:      -- page of zeros --   Address space 0x8 - 0xC000.0000
Following are the entries for my kernel's Level 2 Page Directory pages
0xfdfef000:      0xfb041067    0x00000000    0xfb040067    0x00000000
0xfdfef010:      0xfb03f067    0x00000000    0xfb03e067    0x00000000

I.e.: (gdb) x/4x xen_start_info->pt_base
0xc03bb000:     0x00000000fb045001      0x00000000fb044001
0xc03bb010:     0x00000000fb043001      0x00000000fb042001


Below are two page entries to something I can't read:
0xfdfefd60:      0xfbc000e1    0x00000000    0xfba000e1    0x00000000

Below are mappings to: ???
0xfdfefda0:      0x018001e3    0x00000000    0x01a001e3    0x00000000
0xfdfefdb0:      0x01c001e3    0x00000000    0x01e001e3    0x00000000
0xfdfefdc0:      0x020001e3    0x00000000    0x022001e3    0x00000000
0xfdfefdd0:      0x024001e3    0x00000000    0x026001e3    0x00000000
0xfdfefde0:      0x028001e3    0x00000000    0x02a001e3    0x00000000
0xfdfefdf0:      0x02c001e3    0x00000000    0x02e001e3    0x00000000

Below are mappings to the same region above (that I can't read):
0xfdfeff20:      0xfbc001e3    0x00000000    0xfba001e3    0x00000000

Again, more mappings to my page directories:
0xfdfeff60:      0xfb045063    0x00000000    0xfb044063    0x00000000
0xfdfeff70:      0xfb043063    0x00000000    0xfb042063    0x00000000

Mappings to something, but I know not what:
0xfdfeffa0:      0x00224063    0x00000000    0x00225063    0x00000000
0xfdfeffb0:      0x00226063    0x00000000    0x00227063    0x00000000
0xfdfeffc0:      0x00211063    0x00000000    0x00212063    0x00000000
0xfdfeffd0:      0x00213063    0x00000000    0x00214063    0x00000000
0xfdfeffe0:      0x00215063    0x00000000    0x00216063    0x00000000
0xfdfefff0:      0x00217063    0x00000000    0x00bfe063    0x00000000
#

But, I'm looking for specific documentation regarding these regions.
