Marked Xen as invalid as this is caused by the dom0 kernel not Xen.

Title:
  Xen 32bit dom0 on 64bit hypervisor: bad page flags

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in xen package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  This problem is a mix between running certain versions of 32bit Linux
  kernel dom0 on certain versions of 64bit Xen hypervisor, combined with
  certain memory clamping settings (dom0_mem=xM, without setting the max
  limit).

  Xen 4.4.2 + Linux 3.13.x
  Xen 4.5.0 + linux 3.19.x
  Xen 4.6.0 + linux 4.0.x
  Xen 4.6.0 + linux 4.1.x
   -> all boot without messages
  Xen 4.5.1 + Linux 4.2.x
  Xen 4.6.0 + Linux 4.2.x
  Xen 4.6.0 + Linux 4.3.x
   * dom0_mem 512M, 4096M, or unlimited
     -> boot without messages
   * dom0_mem between 1024M and 3072M (inclusive)
     -> bad page messages (but finishes boot)
  Xen 4.6.0 + Linux 4.4.x
  Xen 4.6.0 + Linux 4.5.x
  Xen 4.6.0 + Linux 4.6-rc6
   The boot for 512M,4096M, and unlimited looks good as well. Though trying to
   start a domU without dom0_mem set caused a crash when ballooning (but I
   think this should be a seperate bug)
   Using a dom0_mem range between 1G and 3G it looks like still producing the
   bad page flags bug message and additionally panicking + reboot.

  The bad page bug generally looks like this (the pfn numbers seem to be
  towards the end of the allocated range.
