The root page table is allocated from the domheap and isn't
mapped by default. Map it on demand to build pv shim domain.

The patch looks correct as is, so

Still I would have wished that ...

... the function wide "l4start" wasn't clobbered like this.

In fact I think this patch needs either folding into the earlier one,
or moving ahead: The respective UNMAP_DOMAIN_PAGE() added there breaks
the use of l4start here. Yet then why not simply move that
UNMAP_DOMAIN_PAGE() below here, eliminating the need for this patch.
