alloc_domheap_page() instead of alloc_xenheap_page(), and use
map_domain_page() to get temporary mappings when you need them. This costs
nothing on x86/64, where all memory is permanently mapped. Or it is *very*
reasonable to only support vt-d on x86/64 hypervisor. That's the
configuration we care about by far the most, since 32-bit guests run fine on
a 64-bit hypervisor, and of course all vt-d systems will be 64-bit capable.
