Or it's doing a wait or some such at a IRQL (priority level) that is
higher than what the scheduler runs at. In fact, the reason that you
can't page something in at high IRQL has to do with the fact hat the
scheduler is blocked at this level, and the page-in mechanism is a
separate process, which means that it would be necessary to reschedule
in the kernel. Since any "wait" operation will cause rescheduling, those
are also blocked at this level.
Most likely is that the guest memory mapping or some such got very
confused.

Also points to a memory mapping (or other memory corruption) problem in
my experience.
[I did two years of graphics driver development, and I've managed to get
my fair share of both of these bugchecks].
