Hello there,

I've been doing some testing of Xen 4.5 on Fedora 22 (due out within a week) 
and I have an error that prevents the server from booting in the very early 
boot process:

> (XEN) Xen call trace:
> (XEN)    [<ffff82d08011d160>] free_domheap_pages+0x240/0x430

> (XEN) 
> (XEN) ****************************************
> (XEN) Panic on CPU 0:

> (XEN) ****************************************

The full output is over in a Github Gist[1].

I've tested this on some physical machines (Dell, HP, and SuperMicro servers) 
as well as within a KVM virtual machine but I get the same boot error each 
time.  It occurs with Xen 4.5 and Linux 3.17-4.0.x.  Xen 4.5.1-rc1 fails in the 
same way.  I've opened a Red Hat Bug[2] as well as a Xen bug[3] on it.

The code within free_domheap_pages() hasn't changed much since late 2014 so I'm 
not sure if that's the culprit.  Does anyone have any suggestions on how to 
debug it further?

Thanks in advance!
