Re: [Xen-devel] Failed to access register with invalid access size alignment

["Zytaruk, Kelly" <Kelly.Zytaruk@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Jan,

Just saw this message from you, must have missed it earlier.  I paused the 
guest on the access and found the EIP address pointing to an OS port access 
function in the Windows guest.  I wasn't able to gather any stack trace 
information so I couldn't tell how it was originally called.  I don't see any 
failures on bare metal so I presume that this is either a non-required access 
or it just happens to return a result that the caller is happy with.

Thanks,
Kelly
