I think there's a buglet in map_pages_to_xen(), although it's entirely
possible I'm mis-reading it. In the case where we end up replacing a
non-super-page 2nd level entry with a super-page entry, we should free
the page table page pointed to by the old entry, not the new entry
(which doesn't actually point to a 1st level page).

Here's an untested "obviously correct" patch.

Agreed.
