I'm seeing the following when trying to boot a guest domain with the
current xen-unstable:

EIP: [<c011d145>] xen_tlb_flush_all+0x35/0x40 SS:ESP 0069:cf877db8 


The initial "bad gmfn" message seems to be due to an attempt to validate
the mfn argument to the mmuext_op.  It's not surprising to me that this
fails as xen_tlb_flush_all doesn't supply an mfn argument - it's not
needed for the MMUEXT_TLB_FLUSH_ALL command.  Is there something that is
supposed to mean that the mfn argument should be valid even when not
explicitly set by the caller, or is the validation of the mfn for all
mmuext_op commands a bug?

Thanks

Kieran
