We certainly don't want more ifdefs like that.

Unfortunately I have to agree: fixing the prototype of
m2p_remove_override and replacing get_phys_to_machine with pfn_to_mfn is
easy.
However FOREIGN_FRAME is an x86-ism and I don't feel confortable with
adding yet another #define under arch/arm/xen just to deal with x86
stuff that spill on common code.

Sorry for not spotting this earlier.

Let's talk about how to set it up offline.
