for some reason, insmod/rmmod works fine even without the patch in Dom0. The
patch wasn't applied cleanly anyway, I'm using stock Xen 3.1 which does not
have the code:
dma = gnttab_dma_map_page(virt_to_page(ptr)) +
offset_in_page(ptr);
Anyway, in DomU it produced message (but also an oops):
Fatal DMA error! Please use 'swiotlb=force'

Well, we got it. The virt_to_machine shows that although the pages are
contiguous, they are in the reversed order! As can be seen below. Should the
swiotlb=force solve the problem?
