Actually, I remember now what the problem was.  d->grant_table is an
opaque type, so .max_grant_frames can't be accessed.

One of my indented bits of cleanup here is to remove the
gnttab_dom0_frames() function, because it has no business living in the
core grant_table.c

Would you be happy if I replaced gnttab_dom0_max() in asm-arm with
gnttab_dom0_frames() which accounts for the exiting min(), and means
that domain_build.c will be ultimately unchanged?
