Subject: [RFC PATCH 2/2] xen/grant-table: Use unpopulated DMAable pages instead of real RAM ones

From: Oleksandr Tyshchenko <oleksandr_tyshchenko@...m.com>

Depends on CONFIG_XEN_UNPOPULATED_ALLOC. If enabled then unpopulated
DMAable (contiguous) pages will be allocated for grant mapping into
instead of ballooning out real RAM pages.

TODO: Fallback to real RAM pages if xen_alloc_unpopulated_dma_pages()
fails.
