Hm, your comment later on makes me think you tried this on AMD.  If so, I have
also run into a similar problem with Windows guests under AMD.  After installing
WinDbg, it told me that it was a "Paging Request in Non-Paged memory" related to
the Video memory area.  Does yours look similar to that?  I have not had time to
track it further than that, though.
