Why is this needed?  Does ARM have a concept of p2m_map_foreign?  grep
doesn't turn it up... how does ARM dom0 deal with foreign mappings,
and is there a reason we can't copy their approach?

The p2m types are currently per-arch. ARM doesn't currently have much in
the way of the concept of such things, but it should eventually and
foreign map seems likely to be one of them.

Oh, right -- I see now; the interface Mukesh is implementing -- XENMAPSPACE_gmfn_foreign and XENMEM_add_to_physmap_range -- is basically the same as the ARM dom0 interface.

That's an important piece of information.
