Does this need to become GREFS_V1_PER... or something?

If you reorder the declarations of gnttab_request_version and
gnttab_(un)map_status_v1 below then you can avoid these forward
declarations.

Also I don't think the comment really adds much once you have the empty
declaration underneath (like you do below). A simple "/* Nothing to do
for v1 */" in the implementation would be sufficient.

and eventually v2, right? Actually I think the v1 is unnecessary. e.g.:
        /*This is a structure of function pointers for grant table*/

I think you can drop the "_gnttab_" prefix from all of these, it'll be
clear from the gnttab->foo what the namespace is.

Please avoid unrelated whitespace changes.

This and all the other similar functions can now be made static.
