Yes, well you may not be crashing on a supposed page address. Certainly the
page pointer that relinquish_memory() is working on, and passed to
put_page->free_domheap_pages is valid enough to not cause any of those
functions to crash when dereferencing it. At the moment you really have no
idea what is causing free_heap_pages() to crash.

You need to find out which line of code in free_heap_pages() is crashing,
and what variable it is trying to dereference when it crashes. You have a
nice backtrace with an EIP value, so you can 'objdump -d xen-syms' and
search for the EIP in the disassembly. If you have a debug build of Xen you
can even do 'objdump -S xen-syms' and have the disassembly annotated with
corresponding source lines.

Have you seen this on more than one physical machine? If not, have you run
memtest on the offending machine?
