gntdev.c is already not capable of handling PAGE_SIZE != XEN_PAGE_SIZE,
so you are not going to break anything that is not already broken :-) If
your new gntdev.c code relies on PAGE_SIZE == XEN_PAGE_SIZE, it might be
good to add an in-code comment about it, just to make it easier to fix
the whole of gntdev.c in the future.
