The question is that corresponding gmfns is not necessarily contiguous.
Maybe instead of setting order to non-zero, we can change nr_extents
to >1 by allocating buffer to contain all gmfns to be released.

Another abstraction could be to incorporate set_phys_to_machine
into decrease/increase_reservation, and thus allow 
xen_create_contiguous_region to be used by auto_translated_mode if
we want that translated mode to work for backend like for xen/ia64...

Thanks,
