In addition to what I said yesterday:

PV Display also uses this xen-front-pgdir-shbuf framework. It's protocol
(displif.h) also mentions the same as sndif.h if the context of
gref_dir_next_page:

 * gref_dir_next_page - grant_ref_t, reference to the next page describing
 *   page directory. Must be 0 if there are no more pages in the list.


With that local change both PV devices work in my environment.

Hmm, that's unfortunate.
