Yep, first I introduced here, but then I haven't updated the patch
history accordingly :)

No, it is removed in the next patch.

Yes, I fixed that to "Trying to overwrite active handle!"

No, this slot was not successfully mapped, so you shouldn't unmap it.

It is similar indeed. I'll document it in common.h

We are using grant mapping now, not copy. The slot is released when the
callback is called and the dealloc thread unmapped the pages.

Hm, for some reason diff screws up this hunk: changes in
xenvif_idx_release are overlapped with the new xenvif_idx_unmap
function. I moved the latter after make_rx_response so now it is in a
separate hunk.
Also, I kept the indentation of the make_tx_response(...) line, so it
doesn't change here and diff will center the changes around it. I think
it makes review easier, however this above mentioned diff madness
screwed that up temporarily.
