Well, I mean I still have"Optimize for size" disabled and it's still
broken.

I am doing a little more digging, what I have found is that
xen_build_dynamic_phys_to_machine() is building a valid looking p2m
table, but later on we get some calls to get_phys_to_machine() which are
outside the range of max_pfn (which Jeremy tells me is acceptable) but
at that point max_pfn is zero.

In other words, it looks like some important data structures are getting
over-written with nonsense.

I will have a think and get back to debugging this when I have a bit
more time.

In the mean time, can you provide me with some info about the machines
you're reproing this on? Mines a brand new dell power-edge xeon thing.

Please, that's the convention!
