Ah - I see now why you unconditionally allocated the to_send bitmap.

I suppose it is probably better to have less divergence between the live
and non-live cases, and the size of the bitmap is substantially less
than other structures in use.

In which case, can I suggest the following which partially supersedes my
review in patch 1.

* Instead of having the bitmap called "to_send", having it called
something more appropriate like "dirty_bitmap".
* s/send_some_pages/send_dirty_pages/ and drop the *bitmap parameter. 
('entries' should stay as it is a useful sanity check).

This way, send_all_page() logically sets all pages as dirty, then sends
any dirty pages.
