Commit bba42affa732 ("x86/mm: Fix dump_pagetables with Xen PV") took care of only the 64-bit case, albeit I think the 32-bit issue predates the commit mentioned there in the Fixes: tag. For the 32-bit case, as long as this space is mapped (by the hypervisor) with large pages, no (noticable) harm results from walking even that area. If there are 4k mappings, though, HIGHPTE=y configurations wanting to also dump that range will find a need to map page tables owned by the hypervisor (which hence doesn't allow them to be mapped). With DEBUG_WX this in turn causes booting to fail.
