[PATCH] PVH linux: Use ballooning to allocate grant table pages

From: Mukesh Rathor
Date: Thu Jan 31 2013 - 21:30:32 EST


This patch fixes a fixme in Linux to use alloc_xenballooned_pages() to
allocate pfns for grant table pages instead of kmalloc. This also
simplifies add to physmap on the xen side a bit.
