Not sure what you used here, the xen-access tool right now in Xen doesn't (yet) 
exercise the gfn remapping, only the mem-access parts.
Sergej has a patch for this in the arm-altp2m series though.

[Paul2] All I was testing was if xen-access behaved as before the gfn remapping 
patch was introduced.  After the gfn remapping patch was introduced, 'xen-acess 
-m 1 altp2m_write' hanged the system.  Now, with your fix, it doesn't and the 
output of xen-access appears as before.   Thanks, -Paul
