Acked-by: Tim Deegan <t...@xen.org>, with one reservation. > + * - Phase out all use of gpfn/gmfn where it pertains to pfn or mfn. I think you mean s/gpfn/gfn/, which I agree with. gmfn I'm not so sure of. Shadow code uses variants on gmfn/smfn to denote pairs of mfns (the guest's pagetable and its shadow), which I think is defensible.
