No, qemu is changing the mem type for these pages, so I need to dig
into understanding what it's trying to do there. But the above, I don't
think is correct. Xen returns p2m type of dm, but I don't think I'm
looking at right mfn's here for this qemu special case. Basically, it's
during hvm guest creation on PVH dom0 that qemu accesses some addresses
that are not mapped.

Anyways, I hope to figure whats going on in qemu soon.
