So my semi-educated guess at your stack is
__early_ioremap
  -> __early_set_fixmap
    -> set_pte
      -> xen_set_pte_init
        -> mask_rw_pte
          -> pte_pfn
            -> pte_val
               -> xen_pte_val
                 -> pte_mfn_to_pfn
                   -> mfn_to_pfn_no_overrides
                     -> ret =
xen_safe_read_ulong(&machine_to_phys_mapping[mfn], &pfn)


With ffffffff81007f08 being the faulted address the last one looks
plausible:


ffffffff81007efe:       48 8b 15 03 d2 c0 00    mov   
0xc0d203(%rip),%rdx        # 0xffffffff81c15108
ffffffff81007f05:       90                      nop
ffffffff81007f06:       90                      nop
ffffffff81007f07:       90                      nop
ffffffff81007f08:       4c 8b 2c da       mov    (%rdx,%rbx,8),%r13

since

ostr@workbase> grep  ffffffff81c15108
/tmp/System.map-4.4.8-9.pvops.qubes.x86_64
ffffffff81c15108 D machine_to_phys_mapping
ostr@workbase>

But %rdx is not ffffffff81c15108, it is ffff800000000000:

(XEN) rax: 0000000000000000   rbx: 00000000000d7bdc   rcx: ffff880002059000
(XEN) rdx: ffff800000000000   rsi: 80000000d7bdc063   rdi: 80000000d7bdc063

Perhaps we jumped to ffffffff81007f08 from somewhere, but I can't ffffffff81007f0* as a target anywhere.
