OK, got it. Then, aside from para-virtualized linux, do you agree that
some change should be made to unmodified vmx domain build and DM? When
domain creation in CP and when DM services other domain, they shouldn't
operate DomN's memory by simply acquiring a plain continuous page_array
which has no hole information. Either extra information about hole, or
the page_array itself containing hole, should be added thereafter...
