I found the bug. I've used my patch to xc_ptrace.c to reenable
debugging of paravirtualized guests in Changeset 93379554837c
(http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-unstable.hg?cs=93379554837c), but
forgot the patch to xen/arch/x86/domain.c (to export cr0 to the
guest).

This caused cr0 to be zero when the guest context was read by
xc_ptrace, and paging_enabled() therefore doesn't work.


Any chance of changesets 93379554837c, f226a5765c85, dcb66319ed1e
being applied to xen-3.0-testing? Without these, paravirtualized
debugging is still not possible in xen-3.0-testing.
