My aim is to have all translation done in Xen if a guest is auto-translated,
even if the mappings are created by a foreign domain (e.g., dom0). Maybe
this is the showstopper that should drive us to make this change.  As noted
already, this would also be a simplification and robustification for the
control libraries (which kludge their own P2M translation with
xc_get_pfn_list).
