Xen devel - Jan 2013 - VMCS weirdness

Hello everybody,
just a quick question. According to the INTEL Manual the VMCS should be
aligned
to 4k-boundary page.
During a debugging session of nested Xen Environment 4.2 i386 I''ve
observed
an VMCS
was not aligned but just started in the middle of the page, any hints for
that?

Hardly - neither would that work, nor can I see where such an
allocation would be happening (they''re all being done through
alloc_xenheap_page() afaict).
