xen_pfn_t? Definitely won't conflict with anyone, and I prefer 'pfn' to 
'frameno' as it's more consistent with other names we have in the 
interface.

What about the Linux kernel -- shouldn't that be changed too? At least 
where it handles arrays of longs passed to memory_op()?
Inside Xen, does shadow.h really need changing at all? Once entries are 
unpacked from an array by a hypercall they could just be passed round 
as longs, right?
Sorry about the to'ing-and-fro'ing but we need to make sure interface 
changes are complete and correct and this one is inevitably pretty 
far-reaching.
