Xen is 32 bit, right?

Could you disassemble this whole function, so I can see what register the other half is in? (I'm guessing its ecx or esi; nothing else makes much sense.)


I submitted an earlier report with a more complete dump of this function, which is at http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2010-02/msg00844.html The code may have changed slightly since then but it looks to be the same issue.

I think so too. The question is where that set_pte is coming from, and why does it have NX set even though the CPU doesn't support it? I'm setting up a Xen test domain at the moment, so I'll have a look into it.
