The other thing that might be worth thinking - the virtual address that modules are loaded on are way way at the end of the pagetables. Could it be that the EPT is limited and said L4 entry (or L3) is shared with Xen or hadn't been properly setup? Oh wait, this is for HVM guests! And of course this problem you see only occurs _after_ you have started PV and PVH guest right? If you start the HVM guests first there are no problems? Could you describe the steps and perhaps post a link to your updated git tree for both Linux and Xen? More folks reproducing it could help with this.
