This would quite clearly not be acceptable, yet I don't have an
alternative suggestion other then implementing M2P on ARM, which
you have already named as not an option.

Otoh I'm not sure what two loops you talk about - I find exactly
one use of mfn_to_gmfn() in memory_exchange(), and latching
the GFN earlier would be wrong (as it might change in parallel to
your processing).
