Xen crashes because it thinks VMX should be handling this, but VMX doesn't think so (the exit reason is "invalid state".)

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.
