So the first mfn of the memory containing the p2m information is bogus.
Weird.

Can you please share some more information? Especially:

- guest kernel version?
- any patches in kernel not being upstream, especially in Xen-specific
  boot path?
- dmesg from guest with E820 map?
- guest configuration?

The same error would occur when trying to live migrate the guest. And
this has been tested a lot since above commit, so I suspect something
is very special in your case.
