Here are some changes for xenpaging in xen-unstable.

Its just for review and comments.

In a previous series for 4.0 I had a retry loop for the XENMEM_* commands.
This could be done in a different way to prevent changes to existing kernel
drivers in the guest. The changes to guest_physmap_add_entry are not needed
with the update for machine_to_phys_mapping handling.
But the patch to handle guest_remove_page does not work as expected, the guest
will hang. Any help to get this fixed without retry loops is appreciated.

Olaf
