Thanks, this clearly shows that our descriptors are above 4GB and that
the driver truncates the completion word.

Is this new behavior for xen?

Before you had mentioned that non-xen 32-bit builds don't fail.  Can
you send me the .config from those two cases (offlist if they are too
large)?  I'm looking for what config option enables this so I can
quote it in the patch to increase the size of phys_complete.
Certainly this changes my assumptions of what address ranges
GFP_KERNEL memory will be located.
