I was about to say yes, but then I checked them, and I had my preferred
page size wrong in region 0 (it was set to 16M from a previous
experiment).  Thank you, problem solved! :)

I think technically, it should be valid to insert mappings smaller than
the preferred page size.  But I guess currently Xen doesn't handle this
case correctly.

Yes, as they should be... the Region-Ids are tagging the virtual
addresses, not the physical addresses.  If the Region-Ids were the same,
then we would see the same virtual mappings through both region 0 and 1,
which is not what I want.

With a hardware debugger (JTAG).
