Mike,   
Thanks for the reply, staring at the hypercalls in xen.h I didn't see anything that jumped right out at me. What I would like to do is take a peek at the flags in the page descriptor.

Are you referring to something like mapping foreign frames as mentioned in /xen-3.3.0/docs/misc/grant-tables.txt?

Thanks,
        anthony

I'm investigating modifying the live migration process. During the live migration (xc_domain_save.c) is it possible to get a pointer to a guest's page descriptor (struct page)? If this is possible, could you please
describe the process.

You'd likely have to use a hypercall that could pass you mfn of the
the struct page you're looking for and then map that in.
