I agree with you that customized ACPI tables is needed for IO domains.
However I prefer read-only mapping of these pages to domain for domain0

I haven't implemented read-only grant page mapping yet.
(I plan to do it after the mergeing effort)
Once it is implemented, it can be used for read only mapping of
ACPI-related pages.

Does alloc_domheap_page() handles it?
#define alloc_domheap_page(d) (alloc_domheap_pages(d,0,0))
It passes flags = 0.
Or do you mention about other things?
