http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2012-07/msg00130.html:
In Steffano's words, 

"xenstored is going to try to open the grant table interface
(xc_gnttab_open, implemented via gntdev), if that fails it should fall
back to xc_map_foreign_range. That should work out of the box, or at
least it does for my "hybrid" ARM dom0."

I'll put it in the commit message.

thanks
