I think that is a good suggestion: if we are trying to get in something
that works but might not be the best solution, then using
alloc_xenballooned_pages to get some pages and then changing the p2m is
the best option: it wastes a non-trivial amount of memory in dom0 but at
least it is known to work well and it wouldn't be an "hack".

Give a look at gntdev_alloc_map, gnttab_map_refs and m2p_add_override
for an example.
