Xen crashes because it thinks VMX should be handling this, but VMX

At this point, paging is not yet enabled (CR0.PG = 0), but that is not 
natively supported by VMX.  From a cursory look it doesn't appear as 
though that Xen has recognized that it's supposed to emulate this in one 
way or another.

I'm on the road, so I don't have time for a more detailed analysis just 
at the moment.
