Thanks Bernhard - I'm able to reproduce it with your config.
I've had a look, and it seems the register_vcpu_info hypercall is being
made twice, failing on the second time. In fact,
paravirt_pagetable_setup_{start,done} are both being called twice - once
from arch/x86/kernel/setup.c, and then again from arch/x86/mm/init_32.c
I suspect one of them should go, but I'm not familiar enough with this
code to suggest which one.
But still with that crudely resolved, the kernel BUGs (see below).
Jeremy - any ideas?
