Rather read the rest of the source code to know how it's done :)

arch/arm/mm.c:    set_xen_guest_handle(setup.frame_list, frames);
arch/x86/mm.c:    set_xen_guest_handle(setup.frame_list, frames);

Those look like a good way to do it :)

That being said, the comment for GNTTABOP_setup_table says

  “Xen may not support more than a single grant-table page per domain.”

I don't know if that's still true. Mini-os does set up its own
grant-table, so you may not be able to set up your own.

As a matter of fact, you don't actually need to: ./include/gnttab.h
should already be giving you an interface to grant access to pages to
other domains.
