Who is expected to be able to call this? I think a XENMEM subop implies
that the guest itself, plus perhaps any controlling stubdom (e.g. qemu) could call
it, which I don't think is desirable.

Should this be limited to the toolstack only and therefore be a subop of
domctl or some other hypercall?

Ian.
