    I don't know if this will fix this bug, but it's definitely a bugfix.
    It was trashing random pages by overwriting them with pagetables...
    
    Don't trash a large pmd's data when mapping physical memory.
    This is a bugfix for "x86_64: adjust mapping of physical pagetables
    to work with Xen".
