This can avoid the zeroing if...

this loop turns into

while ( i )
    free_domheap_pages(mfn_to_page(mfn[--i], 1);

and even avoids the conditional.

What is the expected max value of pages?  Given that our hypervisor
stacks are quite large, it might be prudent to use C99 variable length
arrays (with an appropriate BUG_ON()) to avoid the xalloc() altogether.

I would suggest size_t to for closer consistency with C.
