no, what I mean is, I get a trap which to plan 9 exception handlers 
looks like a page fault and the PC is 0. This could be the variable-sized 
xen stack frame confusing plan 9 trap again, however.

I am worried that xen is calling back to that PC somehow. Seems unlikely 
but it would explain the stack frame I have. 

HOWEVER  ... seems that what you are telling me is that I should expect an 
irq on VIRQ_MISDIRECT, which makes a lot of sense and explains the linux 
code I see. 

So I'll look at that too.
