Can you say what is the difference between V1 and V2? It looks to be just
that V2 adds an array of return values and not overloading the array of
MFNs with the "top nibble for set on err".

patches. You need one for netback and one for blkback b/c they go to different
maintainers.

The more I look at this along with the previous structure (struct mmap_batch_state)
they more they look like they could be squashed together.
The two differences are the 'paged_out' and *user. You could sqush them
together and use an union to carry those two.
And then also make the mmap_batch_fn and mmap_batch_v2_fn be almost the
same and unify those two (in a seperate patch of course).

This looks so similar to the the v1 version. Can you extract the generic
parts of privcmd_ioctl_mmap_batch out to a function and just use the
_v1 and _v2 for .. well the things that they differ with?
