Subject: [RFC PATCH] fix 32-bit PAE bootup of Xen PV guests.

I was wondering if you could help me out. The git commit
b40827fa7268fda8a62490728a61c2856f33830b ("x86-32, mm: Add an initial
page table for core bootstrapping") crashes 32-bit PAE Xen PV guests.

I am attaching an RFC patch that works around your patch, but honestly
I was wondering if there is a better way to make this work for 2.6.37?
Any recommendations?

Without this patch, a PV 32-bit PAE guest crashes during early bootup as
so:
