Ack.

In that case I think the comment in function declaration (attached below)
```
/* Set up the xenheap: up to 1GB of contiguous, always-mapped memory.
 * Base must be 32MB aligned and size a multiple of 32MB. */
extern void setup_xenheap_mappings(unsigned long base_mfn, unsigned long 
nr_mfns);
```
would also need changes, as I think it only refers to the Arm32.

How about
/*
 * For Arm32, set up the xenheap: up to 1GB of contiguous,
 * always-mapped memory. Base must be 32MB aligned and size
 * a multiple of 32MB.
 * For Arm64, set up the directmap area of memory.
 */

Kind regards,
Henry
