Mine I seem to have bisected down to fe680d0dac85e0f2d6c3b53838c250f6e0b1f49b
    'exec: Limit translation limiting in address_space_translate to xen'

I'm told this doesn't necessarily make sense, but:
                       works  62622c11f230edddcc47aabe2d988555bf125993
                       broken fe680d0dac85e0f2d6c3b53838c250f6e0b1f49b

(confirmed by running each twice)
and :
b18a990c - good
cab00a5aa - good
