One more thing: please add a comment here saying that frames array is 
array of PFNs (in Xen granularity), which is what 
XENMEM_populate_physmap requires. And remove (or update to name the 
actual call you are making) the corresponding comment in 
increase_reservation().

And similarly, here we are requesting GFNs, and update 
decrease_reservation().
