Julien and George,
Thank you for the comments. I had one question I wanted to ask.
>A DOMID_XEN page could be read only too. For instance, the meta-data

I understand what you are saying in general, but I'm not familiar
enough with the Xen memory mapping system to know how to actually
implement this. The p2m_type_t p2m_ram_ro exists, which I could assign
to read-only pages, but I'm unsure as to how to detect whether a
request is to a read only mapping or a read-write. The normal (non
DOMID_XEN) p2m_lookup function normally does this by reading the root-
level page tables and somehow extracting the mapping type from the
lpae_t structure. Given that we are not looking up the page tables for
non-translated addresses, I'm not sure where/how to find the correct
mapping type. Can I still lookup the page table entries for the MFN
address and extract the p2m_type_t the same way?
Thank you for any insight or assistance,
Ben
