Indeed not :-/

I managed to get a test box up and running, so I backported a couple of
additional upstream patches to help valgrind analyse Xen toolstacks and
even with those I'm not seeing leaks.

However with pmap I am seeing an additional

+00007f37f516a000   23852   14464   14464 rw---   [ anon ]

with each reboot. The size seems  to be the same each time. I can't
quite figure out what this new mapping is. I'll keep digging.
