I had run my domains and killed them and my console was still running. I also have as you know multi patch, your 128m patch and the patch I sent

I saw this on the machine/xen console (we have so many consoles we need to
be specific)

This was seen before (by another person that did not post to the list) and used to be a panic. I demoted it to a warn, because we are looking for stuff but I don't think anything will be done with that address. Basically, any page not belonging to Dom0 can be mapped by Dom0 be cause she's the boss, these pages are either IO or REMOTE (and IO will panic). However, I do not believe we should ever be performing guest copies of IO or REMOTE.
0xc000000 is 192M

Hollis, I believe this is an off by one error in the xencomm somewhere.
any ideas?

The console xmconsole process was still running. This means ... ? Never
seen this before btw and I have seen some strange stuff and run xen
constantly.
