Thanks.  The existing code here is pretty unfortunate.

In xc_domain_dumpcore_via_callback where you make your change, "dinfo"
refers to a struct domain_info_context which is local to that
function.  But in the called function xc_core_arch_map_p2m_rw, "dinfo"
refers to another identical structure allocated locally to the small
wrapper function xc_core_arch_map_p2m.  All rather tangled.

But, anyway, your change is correct so I have applied it.

Next time, though, can you please be sure to add a Signed-off-by line,
to signify your certification in accordance with the Developer's
Certificate of Origin ?  In this case I'll go ahead as it's only a
couple of lines.

Thanks,
Ian.
