Switch to xen, which is going to emulate some instructions and fake

the 4 byte offset, that is the 4 high bytes and then 4 bytes of
undefined memory that may even be in another page.
There's code in the 32-bit ptwr_emulated_update() to turn a sub-pte
access into a full-pte access. Either this is missing/broken in the
64-bit version, or the emulator is broken and passing the wrong operand
size.
