Shannon, thanks for the patch.

Keeping in mind that in the 64K case, kernel pages are 64K but xen pages
are still 4K, I think you also need to allocate
(nr_grant_frames/XEN_PFN_PER_PAGE) kernel pages (assuming that they are
allocated contiguously): nr_grant_frames refers to 4K pages, while
xen_xlate_map_ballooned_pages is allocating pages on a 64K granularity
(sizeof(pages[0]) == 64K).

Be careful that alloc_xenballooned_pages deals with 64K pages (because
it deals with kernel pages), while xen_pfn_t is always 4K based (because
it deals with Xen pfns).

Please test it with and without CONFIG_ARM64_64K_PAGES. Thanks!
