Ok thanks. We'll look at it then and figure out which c/s is the
culprit. 
We are getting below error in p2m with shadow (64b hv works fine).  
HVM Pae on pae hv w/ Hap on AMD-V returns the intended error >4Gig -
without below error, (and logs xm dmesg properly), so the hap= guest
config option seems to be working as intended.
