Hello Arianna,

(Adding Mukesh for PVH)

Thanks for the patch.

Calling xc_domain_memory_memory_mapping might be also useful for PVH.
AFAIK, on x86 PVH is consider as LIBXL_DOMAIN_TYPE_PV.

The best solution is to check if the domain use auto-translated physmap
(e.g translation between PFN and MFN is done by Xen). But, after talking
with Ian C. it's not possible to know it on libxl.

You might need to introduce an architecture helper (libxl_arm.c and
libxl_x86.c are respectively only compiled on ARM and x86), which check
if you can call xc_domain_memory_mapping or not.

You don't need to ifdef this part. Libxl doesn't support other arch for now.
