Almost self-explanatory...

How do I use a 'XEN_GUEST_HANDLE(xen_pfn_t)'? 

Given the structure:

"
struct xen_memory_reservation {
    XEN_GUEST_HANDLE(xen_pfn_t) extent_start;
}
"

Do I say something like:

"
struct xen_memory_reservation xmr;
ULONG pfn;

pfn = get_pfn_from_somewhere();
set_xen_guest_handle(xmr.extent_start, pfn);
"

If I just want to swap one page, then am I right in saying that
nr_extents = 1 and extent_order = 0?

I guess I'll give it a go tonight... the worst it can do is not work :)

Thanks

James
