"The interface" being which one? The tool stack can map the guest's
grant table, so it is in the position to find out about all grants
without further hypervisor help. Afaict the same isn't true for the
FIFO event channel control blocks, though, and maybe there are
further ways by which pages may get modified for a paused guest.
