Thanks for the reply and the fix - your patch was successful on both SVM
and VMX boxes.  I tested 32bit PAE win2003 server SE on SVM, and 32bit
PAE Winxpsp2 on VMX.  Both did not hit the BUG() in shadow.h.

We definitely don't have much priority with PAE here, might be prudent
to let this patch sit with your more extensive PAE testing, including
32bit hv, etc.  We'll use your patch internally for a while, and
indicate if we see an adverse side-affects. 

So, unless you indicate otherwise, I'll defer to you to push up when you
feel it's a solid fix.  
thanks
Tom
