Hi,

Linux Kernel 2.6.32.36 introduced a regression that prevents Linux Xen
DomU from booting.
Linux DomU starts and after a while it shutdown without log messages.

I bisected a vanilla kernel from 2.6.32.36 (bad) to 2.6.32.32 (good)
and got this commit:

vm:~/linux-2.6.32.y# git bisect bad
856460aa905dcc6d11a05a832d487a7b0ce69402 is the first bad commit
commit 856460aa905dcc6d11a05a832d487a7b0ce69402

    xen: set max_pfn_mapped to the last pfn mapped

    commit 14988a4d350ce3b41ecad4f63c4f44c56f5ae34d upstream.

    Do not set max_pfn_mapped to the end of the initial memory mappings,
    that also contain pages that don't belong in pfn space (like the mfn
    list).

    Set max_pfn_mapped to the last real pfn mapped in the initial memory
    mappings that is the pfn backing _end.

I have tested against XCP 1.0, Citrix XenServer 5.6 and 5.6 FP1.
Without this patch, Linux DomU boots and runs fine.
If more info is needed, please let me know.
