ML is cc'ed cuz there is some good instrumentation tricks below.
It should concern us all that an any code we stuff in a domain can  
bring fron the whole box, so this is certainly relevant to the list.
For those who do not know, some IBM researchers are trying to get a  
non-Linux OS running on XenPPC as a DomU

Are you posting an event from libOS?

May I suggest, for bringup, to put:
  int do_map_myself = 0;

!!! In your testos (not crt_init.c)
This will make your OS run 100% real mode, and will not use any MMU  
hcalls
Then in xen:arch/powerpc/hcalls.c printk all hcalls you see that are  
not Dom0 and not console.
braket your printk with
  console_start_sync();
  printk(...);
  console_end_sync();

to make sure your that output is not buffered
