So, what is the "list of pfns for the grant table" ? 

Thanks

Indeed, the frame_list field of gnttab_setup_table wants the list of
pfns for the grant table, not the pointer to the grant table itself.

There is no other step needed.  See examples of uses within mini-os,
e.g. pcifront.c, you just give the domid, the frame number, whether r/w
or r/o, and you get th reference to pass to the friend domU.
