Actually this is another trick that I need to deal with those

DECLARE_HYPERCALL_BUFFER_SHADOW will define a user pointer "dirty_bitmap"
and a shadow buffer, although xc_hypercall_buffer_free_pages takes
"dirty_bitmap" as an augument, but it is also a MACRO, without
"if ( dirty_bitmap )", the compiler will report "dirty_bitmap" unused
error...

Ah, in which case you would be better using
xc__hypercall_buffer_free_pages() and not creating the local shadow in
the first place.

I thought we'd better use those MACROs which described in the comments...
If it is OK to use xc__hypercall_buffer_free_pages(), I will fix it in
the next version.

If anything I think I'd prefer for the if to move inside the
xc_hypercall_buffer_free_pages macro.

Or if you want to use the "raw" xc__hypercall_buffer variant you should
be consistent and do the same on allocation.

I think I will add a patch that move the if inside the
xc_hypercall_buffer_free_pages macro.
