Hi Keir, just a curious question, will map_domain_page return NULL when
fails on x86_32? If not, why?
thanks

I don't expect that it should ever fail. It's used for temporary mappings (e.g., scope of a function) and so even though the mapping space is finite, we shouldn't ever exhaust it.

The map_domain_page_global() space is a different matter...
