Are you giving this domain more than 7GB of RAM on a PAE hypervisor?

The code you cut out is start-of-day code that builds the p2m map of a
domain from the m2p entries of its allocated pages. It was needed
originally because the domain builder tools would set up the guest's
memory and m2p mapping and _then_ enable shadow-translate mode. It may
not be necessary now that HVM domains are put in shadow mode at creation
time.
AFAICS, either the domain should have no memory assigned yet (in which
case it does nothing), or the domain's pages should have m2p entries
that are valid, explicitly invalid, or set to the "debug pattern" of all
5s. I'll look at a more sensible failure mode then -ENOMEM, though.
Cheers,
Tim.
