I've had a look and the mechanism is good, but the patches are not quite
ready.  Patch #2 touches too much of the p2m interfaces with the new
page-order argument -- there are functions in it that now have a new
argument that's _never_ called except with NULL.

Patches #4 and #5 have a lot of churn in and around spage_* for what's
basically a mask operation on an MFN.  I don't think any of it is
necessary.  Also, please don't send patches that contain things like: 

+/* XXX: defines should be moved to a proper header */

It might make me think you didn't re-read them before posting. :)

I think they really just need trimmed back a bit before they go in.
I'll have some time on Wednesday, so I might just do that then.

Cheers,

Tim.
