The patch you provided does make the message go away.

I can actually step reliably through the startup code with the JTAG now. It 
looks like that instruction was from the "putstr("Decompressing kernel...");" 
in arch/arm/boot/compressed/misc.c.
With that change, xenctx shows me a much more reasonable value for PC and 
SVC_LR. Digging around then led me to disable CONFIG_DEBUG_LL, because it seems 
that the problems I'm seeing relate to trying to print something. With that, I 
think it's getting further still. Xenctx now tells me that it ends up in 
__loop_delay(), with LR pointing to panic(). I'm having problems reproducing 
this with the JTAG, though (it seems to behave slightly differently when I'm 
using JTAG to debug it), and I'm not seeing any output from DomU.

Chris
