Please post all problems and questions to the list! I don't know how
else to ask politely.

What do you mean you don't think anything will be done to that address?
It's in copy_to_guest(), so I think that address will be overwritten.

Not just from that description... :)

How reproducible is it? When it does occur, what are the steps to
reproduce? Please try replacing the WARN with panic, then attach with
gdb so we can at least see which dom0 op it was.

(Note that this tree is backlevel; dom0_ops are gone now. Not that I
think your problem is fixed, but it would be more convenient to debug
with a current tree.)
