Is there a particular reason you use this in favor of steal_page()'s
paging_mode_external()?

I'm afraid that for correctness of the interface you need to keep
this part even in the !PV case.
Seeing the 2nd use of steal_page() I wonder if it was too much to
ask you to do a similar transformation for gnttab_transfer(), even
if it's not directly related to the immediate purpose of this
series. If you're not going to do so, I guess I'd put it on my list
(perhaps together with moving x86'es steal_page() and dropping
Arm's stub).
