The error is caused because we are trying to use paging_gva_to_gfn
against a Dom0 VA, which is a PV guest.

gva_to_gfn is set to sh_gva_to_gfn for a PV Dom0, but calling
vtlb_lookup against a PV guest crashes Xen because the paging structures
are not populated.

That was my first intention, but AFAICT we have no function in tree to
resolve a PV guest VA into a GFN/MFN. The closest thing I could find was
using guest_walk_tables + guest_walk_to_gfn in order to obtain the gfn.
Should I send a patch to introduce a pv_gva_to_gfn function based on that?

Thanks, Roger.
