I've been seeing this too. I bisected it down to:

i386/PAE: fix pud_page()
Impact: cleanup
To the unsuspecting user it is quite annoying that this broken and
inconsistent with x86-64 definition still exists.

It's late so figuring out how it broke can wait for tomorrow.

The interesting bit from the link given is below.

Ah, OK.

Ingo, Jan:

Did this patch actually fix anything, or was it just a cleanup? It seems to have broken 32-bit Xen in some way, so if its just a cleanup it would be best to drop it until we've worked out what's going on.

Thanks,
J

Ian.
