This looks pretty much identical to arch_gnttab_map_shared() except for
gnttab_shared_vm_area vs. gnttab_status_vm_area,which can be passed in
as a parameter.

And this too looks like can be factored out (to something like
arch_update_gnttab()). But perhaps not in this patch.

Not sure there is need for this routine. It is used only once.

Also, as an overall comment -- It feels like there may be too many
BUG_ON()s.
