Comment (by anevilyak):

 We're actually observing this issue 100% reproducibly on boot with the ARM
 port on qemu. In the latter's case it occurs while tearing down the area
 for the USB PMA (since USB fails to initialize due to not finding the PCI
 bus manager). In our case, what appears to happen is that the page in
 question does not in fact have any mappings, but does have a wired count
 of 1. We initially assumed that this might pertain to incomplete reporting
 of the accessed/modified flags in ARMVMTranslationMap32Bit since the
 ARMv5/v6 cores we're currently working with don't support those bits in
 hardware and we'll have to do sw emulation of them, but if this is a
 previously known problem then it's possible we're simply reliably
 triggering whatever the corner case is in the VM.
