My real question is, is the "assert" stuff in shadow.h:1222 valid? If it
is valid, what is actually being checked?

[yes, I have read the code, but I confess I don't understand enough
about the internal workings of the shadow page-table to know what's
going on in this bit of code].

The code is based on XenSource changeset 8677:b721455c5e44.

That debug code is totally ancient. Ian may know whether it has any relevance any more.
