I started some bisecting (it's difficult because many intermediaries
don't compile -- something to clean up). Anyways, for this order of
paravirt patches:

header-and-stubs-for-paravirtualisation
patch-inline-replacements-for
paravirt-compile
cpu_detect-extraction
more-generic-paravirtualization
allow-selected-bug-checks-to-be
allow-disabling-legacy-power
add-apic-accessors-to-paravirt-ops.
add-mmu-virtualization-to
be-careful-about-touching-bios-address-space
mmu-header-movement
fix-bad-mmu-names
fix-missing-pte-update
fix-x86_64-mm-patch-inline-replacements-for
paravirt-pae
skip-timer-works

it's already broken at more-generic-paravirtualization.  Surprised
me a little, i was suspecting the MMU changes.
