Well, something's gone badly wrong there - if you have to shadow the 
entire thing in a bounce buffer to import it then it's hardly zero-copy, 
is it? If you want to do buffer sharing the buffer really needs to be 
allocated appropriately to begin with, such that all relevant devices 
can access it directly. That might be something which needs fixing in Xen.
