Sticking a printk in the writable page table macros tracked down the
problem immediately. I had gone through pmap.c carefully
differentiating between page table and page directory updates, but I
neglected to do that in machdep.c.
WP PT_SET ../../../i386-xen/i386-xen/machdep.c:1461
(XEN) (file=traps.c, line=343) Page fault: fc550862 -> fc552df4
(XEN) Stack trace from ESP=fc503c04:
...
Easy enough to solve on my end. As of this point I did not have my
trap table setup so I would have thought that xen should've simply
killed the guest rather than retrying indefinitely.
