I have no idea, but by the look of it, something could be doing DMA on top of your guest page tables, which is not really expected. I suggest you carefully look at: 1) the DMA addresses that are passed to your device 2) the page tables that are programmed into the SMMU 3) the resulting translation Hopefully this will give you a clue about what is generating this.
