Package: xen-hypervisor-4.8-amd64
Version: 4.8.5+shim4.10.2+xsa282-1+deb9u11
Trying to create a HVM domain with memory != maxmem reliably crashes
Debian's build of Xen 4.8. This may be a nonsensical configuration, but
it still shouldn't cause everything, including the hypervisor to crash.
I recall running into this with 4.4 as well.

`man xl.cfg` is a minefield. If you're creating a VM for experiments by
reading through `man xl.cfg` you need to be careful since some options
mentioned are experimental.
Traced to enabling "nestedhvm" which seemed reasonable for the
experiment, but would not have been done if the man page mentioned it
being a highly experimental feature with high potential for panicing Xen.
Seems this is not the fault of anyone with the Debian project. I'm
starting to understand comments about Xen documentation...
