For the first two, you'd have to connect register/stack values to
source variables (by analyzing the disassembly) to understand what
access it is that causes the issue, and where the values come from.
Or alternatively just add debugging printk()-s to the function in
question (but that could be a lot of output depending on how long the
guest survives). Or whatever else debugging technique you like...
For the third, all it takes is looking up the memory map in the hypervisor
(boot) log.
