Nit (style): Blanks around << please.

Also do you really need both constants? I dont think so.

Plus please make sure to #undef the constant once no longer needed, to
help spotting / avoiding misuses.

As asked before: Why the if()?

Nit or not: Please insert the new case label last.

Wouldn't this more logically live ...

here, as

              ...
              fallthrough;

Otherwise: Just XENMEM_populate_physmap{,_heap_alloc} perhaps?

Without a comment, how is one supposed to know what the difference is of
this new sub-op compared to the "normal" one? I actually wonder whether
referring to a Xen internal (allocation requested to come from the heap)
is actually a good idea here. I'm inclined to suggest to name this after
the purpose it has from the guest or tool stack perspective.

Speaking of which: Is this supposed to be guest-accessible, or is it
intended for tool-stack use only (I have to admit I don't even know where
init-dom0less actually runs)? In the latter case that also wants enforcing.
This may require an adjustment to the XSM hook in use here. Cc-ing Daniel
for possible advice.
