This doesn't look like the result of a pmd_clear() call. Looks like a
L2 (pgd) is being allocated -- perhaps due to pinning or changing %cr3.
It's failing because one of the L1 pages it references is writable by
the guest (ie. the guest has a writable mapping of that L1 page
somewhere).

Hmm it _does_ happen on pmd_clear (which is a macro that turns into a
xen mmu update call). The funny thing is how giving val=0 can end up
as an alloc_l2_page.
