This needs clarifying that it only applies to gntalloc and/or HVM
guests, I don't think it applies to gntdev in PV guests, right?

The actual patch seems to make some reference counting changes which
don't seem to be covered by the above description, and they don't seem
to be balanced (I see increments but no decrements).
