Hi Jeremy:
 
    The lastest test result shows the reverting didn't help.
    Kernel panic exactly at the same place in tlb.c.
 
    I have question about TLB state, from the stack, 
    xen_do_hypervisor_callback-> xen_evtchn_do_upcall->... ->drop_other_mm_ref
 
    What  cpu_tlbstate.state should be,  could  TLBSTATE_OK or TLBSTATE_LAZY all be possible? 
    That is after a hypercall from userspace, state will be TLBSTATE_OK, and
      if from kernel space, state will be TLBSTATE_LAZE ? 
 
       thanks.
