I am a bit worried by the last patches, they seem really brittle and prone to breakage. I don't know Xen well enough to understand if the lack of support for GNTMAP_host_map is fixable, but if not, you have to define a completely different hypercall. Of course, tests are missing. You should use the tools/testing/selftests/kvm/ framework, and ideally each patch should come with coverage for the newly-added code. Thanks, Paolo
