Good, you noticed ;-) Indeed forgot to change it ...

As you have already learnt, the GIC is more subtle sometimes ;-) Read
the description at "Physical_Address, bits [51:12]" in the CBASER
paragraph and tell me what you take from it. I decided to read it as
"has to be 64K aligned".
Happy to correct this otherwise.

                                                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Really?
I checked and found that alloc_xenheap_pages gives me physically
contiguous allocation in the given order, where *alloc just guarantees
virtually contiguous pages.

OK.

Cheers,
