Don't know what you mean. What I saw is, guest tried to access identity mapped 
virtual address by 0xe00001000... (grant table entries), which page fault and 
hit in vcpu_translate and then go to translate_domain_pte for out-of-range 
guest physical address 0x1000... and finally warning.

We may need to find better way to do that anyway.

Thanks,
Kevin
