Memory mapped address to which physical address? Does this address
belong to a device? If so which one?

 

From my understanding, it is should be a ram address shared by graphic accelerator and frame buffer display, not belonging to a device. So the graphic accelerator could draw on this memory and displayed by frame buffer device.

The first idea that come to my mind is the memory is mapped as device by
Xen whilst Linux maps as normal. Because of stage-2/stage-1 memory
combination, the memory would be mapped as device and therefore all
access should be aligned.

I would recommend you to track down where exactly X is trying to access
(device, RAM...).

Ok, Thanks for your advices. I'll let you know if I had any progress.
