Urk, which will break the ABI for this hypercall. That's something of a
conundrum :-/

It is a domctl so we are at liberty to change it, probably to taking a
xen_pfn_t * to fill in instead of returning the value.

I'm in two minds about whether we should do so now or postpone it (which
risks forgetting and having an obscure bug somewhere down the line).
OK, this way, or other solution is to purge this hypercall yet in
migration and use max_memkb field in DOMCTL_getdomaininfo to obtain the
maximum PFN.
Is there an interface to retrieve that? I don't see it :-(
No, it is another hypercall XEN_DOMCTL_getdomaininfo. max_memkb field in xc_dominfo_t structure is a second way to retrieve maximum memory size and calculate PFN. Do we need domain_get_maximum_gpfn ?

Best regards,
Evgeny.
