Linux 4.4 MW: Boot under Xen fails with CONFIG_DEBUG_WX enabled: RIP: ptdump_walk_pgd_level_core

[Sander Eikelenboom]

Hi All,

I just tried to boot with the current linus mergewindow tree under Xen.
It fails with a kernel panic at boot with the new "CONFIG_DEBUG_WX" 
option enabled.
Disabling it makes the kernel boot fine.

The splat:
