ok. I have no mystery crash on my test-systems.

by the looks of it, your crashes seem to be pagetable related. If it's 
in the tip/xen-64bit branch, my candidates would be:

 0f38c08: x86: use __page_aligned_data/bss
 0337869: x86_64: there's no need to preallocate level1_fixmap_pgt
 89d7bb5: x86_64: add workaround for no %gs-based percpu

0337869 is reverted already.

Or if it's an older commit, two candidates would be:

 b50efd2: x86: introduce page_size_mask for 64bit
 3a9e189: x86: map UV chipset space - pagetable

do you know the sha1 of the first broken tree? We know that 
tip-history-2008-07-08_16.08_Tue is known-good.
