[ extra patch, following test report from Ross ]
Ross reports that stdvga guests do not work, and cirrus guests are
slow, because qemu tries to do xc_domain_add_to_physmap. We will need
another dmop to fix this properly.
For now, document the problem.

I don't follow. Do you imply cirrus doesn't need add_to_physmap to
function?
For both stdvga and cirrus, the function gets called and fails (although
QEMU doesn't log an error by default). With stdvga the VM wedged. With
cirrus, the VM worked but the display performance seemed worse than normal.
