I'm not sure why I use DIV_ROUND_UP_ULL here... I will switch to
DIV_ROUND_UP in the next version.

Hmmm... right. I will fix it.

I didn't want to introduce a new structure in order to avoid allocating
it on the stack every time remap_pte_fn is called.

Maybe it is an optimization for nothing?

Will fix it.

As discussed IRL, the toolstack can request to map only 1 Xen page. So
the BUG_ON would always be hit.

Anyway, as you suggested IRL, I will replace the round_up by
DIV_ROUND_UP in the next version.

Yes, but you may ask to only remove 1 4KB page. When 64KB is inuse that
would mean to call the hypervisor 16 times for only 1 useful remove.

This is because, the hypervisor doesn't provide an hypercall to remove a
list of PFN which is very infortunate.

Although, as discussed IIRC I can see to provide a new function
xen_apply_to_page_range which will handle the counter internally.

Correct, I will fix it.

I will fix it.
