Dan,

In vcpu_translate function, if guest address is within region 0 and
guest is in virtual mode, vcpu_translate will print warning message and
don't translate. It seems you assume guest will not access this kind of
address, but actually guest application can allocate region 0 address
spaces by using system call mmap.

You can try testcase mmap09 of ltp on both native and xen0 to find out
this.

So, Can we remove this code segment in vcpu_translate?

Thanks,
Anthony.
