Now that map_pages_to_xen() has been extended to support 2MB mappings,
we can replace the create_mappings() call by map_pages_to_xen() call.

This has the advantage to remove the different between 32-bit and 64-bit
code.

Lastly remove create_mappings() as there is no more callers.

This is a lot better.

I take that "XXX: Handle contiguous bit" refers to the lack of
_PAGE_BLOCK. Why can't we just | _PAGE_BLOCK like in other places?

I forgot to add _PAGE_BLOCK, however this is unrelated to my comment.

Currently, the frametable is mapped using 2MB mapping and setting the contiguous bit for each entry if the mapping is 32MB aligned.

_PAGE_BLOCK will only create 2MB mapping but will not set the contiguous bit. This will increase the pressure on the TLBs (we would get 16 entry rather than 1) if on system where the TLBs can take advantange of it.

So map_pages_to_xen() needs to gain support for contiguous bit. I haven't yet looked at it (hence the RFC state).
