get_gfn_untyped() is correct.  I'm not sure that we really need to take
the domain lock while we're doing it, though.  It might be that the new
gfn locks will be enough to serialize these updates.

I think that should be OK as it only happens for PV guests.

That can almost certainly be done without the domain lock.

Sadly I haven't got time to fix these all up today.  
I have committed patches 1 to 4 of this series, and made some of the
changes suggested to the other two but there seems little point in
reposting them until we can sort out the locking.
