I tried compiling this, and got a break in x86_xen_kdump_load_page_PAE.
 
The way the code was effectively commented out there was incompatible with gcc 3.3.6.
 
I'm not sure if the code was meant to be elided.
 
Thanks for the quick turn on my bug ;-)

- Implemented and tested code to create the xen kdump p2m table from 
  the mfn value found in the "pfn_to_mfn_frame_list_list" member 
  contained within the shared per-domain "arch_shared_info" structure, 
  which is contained within the architecture-neutral "shared_info" 
  structure.  However, the use of this capability will require that: 
     (1) the xen kdump implementation pass this mfn value in the vmcore 
          ELF header, and 
     (2) the crash utility will need additional updating to access this 
         value from the vmcore ELF header. 
  The current test version of the xen kdump code passes the dom0 cr3 
  value in the ELF header, but that only works for xen kernels with 
  writable pagetables.  Using the pfn_to_mfn_frame_list_list mfn will 
  work for both writable- and shared-pagetable xen kernels.

- Support for kernels with no vmalloc addresses, i.e., with an empty 
  "vmlist", fixing an initialization-time session failure indicating: 
  "crash: invalid kernel virtual address: 0  type: first vmlist addr" 
  (moriwaka at valinux.co.jp) 
  
- Fix that allows the "wr" command to accept a 64-bit value. 
  (castor.fu at 3pardata.com) 
  
- Fix for "vtop" on user/kernel virtual addresses that showed the page 
  offset value on the "PAGE:" output line on x86 PAE kernels. 
  (anderson at redhat.com) 
  
- Added "rd -x" option to avoid the display of the ASCII translation at 
  the end of each line.  (anderson at redhat.com) 
  
- Fix for unnecessary double-printing of the "mount" command header 
  when a directory argument is referenced by two different vfsmounts. 
  (harihare at vnet.ibm.com) and (shenlinf at cn.ibm.com) 
  
- Fix to recognize equivalent directory arguments to the "mount" 
  command, i.e., "/boot" is the same as "/boot/". 
  (shenlinf at cn.ibm.com) 
  
- Fix for "swap" command that dropped "/dev" from swap device pathnames 
  in 2.6 kernels.  (shenlinf at cn.ibm.com) 
  
- Fix for potential segmentation violation when running "bt -f" command 
  on s390 and s390x.  (holzheu at de.ibm.com) 
  
- Added a "rd -m " option to read xen machine addresses if they are 
  accessible; also a general cleanup of the m2p functionality.
