Hi

I need to map shared_info (provided by hypervisor to each guest) to user space 
(read-only access). I am curious how I can do it, and if there are some good 
examples for the case if NO autotranslation is available. (BTW, Am I correct 
that I can use regular vm_insert_page or remap_pfn_range if autotranslation is 
available?)

If I am correct, shared_info page is mapped initially into some fixmap area in 
the guest. However, no actual pfn exists for the page. Instead, guest gets mfn 
address from start_info.

Now, what is the standard procedure to handle this situation? I found 
xen_remap_domain_mfn_range function, but not sure if it is what I am looking 
for. Also, I am not sure if I need to update grant tables. I would greatly 
appreciate if someone can enlighten me on this issue, and, perhaps, refer to 
some examples.

Thank you!

Ruslan.
