If building an auto-translated guest, Xen expects the pin request to specify
a guest pseudo-physical address.

The bug went away when you removed the auto-translation feature from the
guest kernel header because that will have overridden your request for
auto-translate mode (most likely) and you're not running on shadow
pagetables at all.
