Thread-topic: Is hypercall_hvm_op in changeset 11060 effective?
User-agent: Microsoft-Entourage/11.2.5.060620
Looks like it could be a 32-on-64 issue if you're running 64-bit Xen.
Perhaps the current test for this situation, in hvm_do_hypercall() in
arch/x86/hvm/hvm.c, is broken. It just tests guest_paging_levels, but that
may not work if paging is disabled. That's probably where you should look if
you're trying to debug this.
