I considered that as well, and don't really mind either way. I think it does
get a bit ugly whatever we do. If you prefer the union, I can respin the
patch that way.

Hmm, thinking more about it I think the real clean solution would be to
extend struct map_ring_valloc_hvm to cover the pv case, too, to add the
map and unmap arrays (possibly as a union) to it and to allocate it
dynamically instead of having it on the stack.

Would you be fine doing this?

This is a little more complex than I'd want to do without doing any testing
(and no, I don't want to do the testing either) ;-)

It does sound like a better approach though.

I take this as you are fine with me writing the patch and adding you as
"Reported-by:"?
