And once more I answere myself. I thought it was the stack being wrong
because the return value of a function was stored in the
phys_to_machine_mapping. But actualy it the variable this value gets
saved in that is there.

What decides where the phys_to_machine_mapping frames ends up?

As it is I get it at [0x121000 - 0x127000], which happens to be
overlapping with my bss section:

objdump -t moose.elf | grep bss | sort

000000000011d520 g     O .bss   0000000000004000 irqstack
0000000000121520 g     O .bss   0000000000000018 __cacheline_aligned
0000000000121540 g     O .bss   0000000000000020 xen_features
0000000000121560 g     O .bss   0000000000000008 HYPERVISOR_shared_info
0000000000121568 g     O .bss   0000000000000008 phys_to_machine_mapping

And those addresses correspond directly to the pages that are later
corrupt in the mapping.
