Not here, but in the other email.

But looking at it -- it looks like on x86, guest_physmap_add_entry() is
actually called from *exactly* two locations:
hvm/grant_table.c:create_grant_p2m_mapping(), and
p2m.h:guest_physmap_add_page().

Which sort of makes me wonder if it might not be better to add the PV
conditional to guest_physmap_add_page() instead, and leave
guest_physmap_add_entry() as entirely HVM.

Sorry, do you think p2m_grant_map_* is more likely somehow than
p2m_ram_ro?  It looks very much like neither one should ever happen. The
purpose of having an ASSERT() there is to alert developers making such a
fundamental change to the fact that they need to think carefully about
what should happen in that case.

(For safety sake, because ASSERT is only a debugging aid, we certainly
need to keep some sort of conditional here to make sure non-writable
pages don't end up with writable mappings in the IOMMU.)

If we don't have an ASSERT(), then we need to think carefully about
whether we should call set_gp2n_from_mfn() if t is, for instance,
p2m_ram_ro.
