But is there a way to do it by modifying the Xen source? For example, during
domain creation, is it possible to let Xen assign certain mfn pages to
particular
physical pages in the new domain?

( I have been trying to figure out how Xen assign mfn pages to new
domain but still
not very successful. The code looks quite complicated.)
