Yes.

It runs in 32-bit protected mode, but with paging disabled. Hence it never
sets GUEST_CR3.

It doesn't get changed from its initial value of zero. Execution starts at
0x0 and immediately executes a JMP to the actual start address. The JMP is
inserted by tools/libxc/xc_hvm_build.c (just search in there for JMP).
