I'm working on top of the next release (3.7.0-rc1), so I cannot assure
that this patch will work correctly on top of 2.6.32.36. I would
recommend you to switch to
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen.git and apply
my patch on top of the linux-next branch to perform the testing.

It should never happen, if j >= segs_to_unmap and we hit the bug it
means we are trying to process more segments than the ones we have mapped.

Do you have the dmesg from the DomU? Does it even start? Could you also
post the serial output of the crash (and the lines before the crash)?
Thanks for the testing, Roger.
