I''m not aware of a published paper describing the behaviour of
Xen''s shadow
pagetable implementation for full virtualisation.
For processor virtualisation, Xen supports Intel''s VT-x virtualisation
extensions for x86, AMD''s similar AMD-V extensions, also for x86 and
Intel''s
VT-i extensions for Itanium.

If you have questions about Xen / XenLinux / tools internals, ask on the
xen-devel list. If you have trouble getting something up and running,
it''s
usually best to ask on xen-users.
