Eric Biederman had a patchset that makes a PAE kernel use PAE page tables from the start. That is really The Right Thing[TM].
That's much saner than dup'ing up the early ioremap stuff to support both PAE and non-PAE at runtime, which is about the only idea I've got for fixing this right now...

I think I'll just back out the early_ioremap patches locally for now and wait for Eric's patches which should cause the fix for this issue to just fall out in the wash.

Eric's patchset is nowhere near being submitted - he _had_ a patchset. So this needs to be fixed by the Xen-guest folks. (if the easiest/best fix is to pick up Eric's patchset, then plese do it so)

This is only relevent to dom0 isn't it? sct is looking at that at the moment.
