Xen thinks you are trying to map a guest pagetable page, and is not allowing
you write access. This is probably because the virt_to_phys translation code
that gdbserver is using is broken for PAE. My guess would be that it returns
the physical address of the PTE that maps the virtual address, rather than
the physical address that is mapped at the virtual address.
