The Linux kernel does a bunch of lazy maps and unmaps and we
may be getting an interrupt while the lazy unmap hasn't been
called (arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode).
Having the vm_unmap_aliases and then xc_mc_flush (which is what
arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode ends up doing too and more) would solve it.
Thought I would have thought that vm_unmap_aliases would call
arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode.

Which would imply that it has not been written in. Which corresponds
to the set_aliased_prot hitting the first BUG_ON.
The xc_mc_flush() also triggers the batched hypercalls - which means we
may have some hypercalls that have not yet gone to the hypervisor and
then we try do an LDT hypercall (not batched).
