But doesn't boot:

(XEN) vmx_hybrid.c:710:d0 Dom:0 EPT violation 0x181 (r--/---), gpa 0x000000bf421e1c, mfn 0xffffffffffffffff, type 4.
(XEN) p2m-ept.c:642:d0 Walking EPT tables for domain 0 gfn bf421
(XEN) p2m-ept.c:648:d0  gfn exceeds max_mapped_pfn 4b062
(XEN) vmx_hybrid.c:717:d0  --- GLA 0xffffffffff477e1c


I'll have to debug it, or we can go back to the prev version, which
I don't think is that un-pretty :).
