After talking things over a little with Yamahata-san (who works on
xen-ia64), it seems that using vcpu->arch.guest_table is correct.
I guess we shall see.

I added some code to kdump to have it record CR3 for dom0. This is
done using a second note in the per-cpu notes area, which for now
just stores a single 4byte entity, the mfn of that CPU in dom0
if it was present in dom0.

I have made a dump available that includes this. The tarball
also includes the kernels, xen, symbol files, and patches to xen.
If you want to find the cr3 saving code its in ./arch/x86/crash.c

I plan to post this update to xen-devel shortly, hopefully tomorrow,
after upporting to the latest xen tree (I'm still working off about
3 weeks ago's tree).
