Hi Peng,
Sorry for being so late in replying, this email got lost in the noise.

Yes I think this is the way to go, but we are trying not to add any
#ifdef CONFIG_ARM64 under arch/arm. Maybe you could introduce a static
inline function to set GFP_DMA:
static inline void xen_set_gfp_dma(gfp_t *flags)
it could be implemented under arch/arm/include/asm/xen/page.h for arm
and under arch/arm64/include/asm/xen/page.h for arm64 using __GFP_DMA
for the former and __GFP_DMA32 for the latter.
