The ring order will be in term of Xen page size and not Linux. So you 
are going to allocate much more memory than expected on 64KB kernel.

Please use virt_to_gfn rather than pfn_to_gfn(virt_to_pfn).

Also, this is not going to work on 64K kernel because you will grant 
access to noncontiguous memory (e.g 0-4K, 64K-68K,...).
We have various helper to break-down the page for you, see 
gnttab_for_one_grant, gnttab_foreach_grant, gnttab_count_grant, 
xen_for_each_gfn (though this one it is internal to xlate_mmu.c so far)
Please use them to avoid any further.

Please use virt_to_gfn rather than pfn_to_gfn(virt_to_pfn).
