I'm not all that familiar with x86 p2m stuff but I'll try. (I've also
added Tim, who is familiar with this stuff)

Why a whole new hypercall rather than a new XENMAPSPACE for the exiting
XENMEM_add_to_physmap.

Ideally we'd have the definition of this (or the equivalent mod to the
XENMEM_add_to_physmap associated struct) for context, but I can probably
guess what the content looks like.

I don't see gfn_to_mfn_query anywhere, I presume it's just a pretty
straight forward p2m lookup? Surprised there is no existing API but OK.

Do you mean "unrefd" here rather than freed? Presumably the remote
domain (which owns the page) is still using it?

This ends up setting the page type to p2m_mmio_direct, which doesn't
seem likely to be correct. Perhaps you should be calling
set_p2m_entry()? Or adding a set_ram_p2m_entry which does similar checks
etc to set_mmio_p2m_entry (or maybe you could abstract out some generic
bits there)?

Can't XENMEM_remove_from_physmap be used here?
