Huh? There are four parameters for that function.


When you setup your map_op, are you setting
 GNTMAP_application_map | GNTMAP_contains_pte
?
Or are using GNTMAP_host_map

Did you look in the 3.1 linux kerne in the gntdev.c driver? Or the other drivers?
Can you use grant-alloc for your code (which can setup shared memory
segements between guests) instead of doing this in the kernel?
