I've recently updated our XenServers with the latest security patches and
had to set pv-linear-pt=true to get NetBSD domUs to boot. For historical
reasons, I have a couple of netbsd-5/i386 VMs which are now frequently
panicking:

xpq_flush_queue: 3 entries

0x00000007eab73d40: 0x0000000604819001
panic: HYPERVISOR_mmu_update failed

fatal breakpoint trap in supervisor mode
trap type 1 code 0 eip c039e374 cs 9 eflags 246 cr2 bb75b1a0 ilevel 6
Stopped in pid 15.1 (fsck_ffs) at       0xc039e374:     popl    %ebp

Kernel is pretty old and also has no symbols:
NetBSD 5.2_STABLE (XEN3PAE_DOMU) #37: Fri Nov 27 12:02:02 UTC 2015

Does anyone have an idea of a quick way to fix this (yes, I know I could use
a newer kernel with the old userland)? If I build a kernel with symbols,
would a backtrace help?

Not sure. What could help it to boot with xen-debug.gz and see what's
in 'xl demsg' when this happends.

Sorry for the delay, needed to work out how to do this with XenServer.

Nothing get printed when it panics. This is with Xen 4.7.5-1.20 and it is easily reproducible for me.
