Yup, and then I've an arch_xsplice_init which nicely calls vm_init_type
for the VMAP_VIRT_XEN.

OK.

I still need the MFNs so I can change the page table attributes once
I've finished copying the ELF.

I can walk the virtual addresses and gather them from the PTE,
but I figured it would be easier to have them stashed away somewhere?
