Hi Wei,
commit ccc9d90a9a8b5 ("xenbus_client: Extend interface to support
multi-page ring") addes a use of vmap in what is now
xenbus_map_ring_valloc_hvm, and uses the VM_IOREMAP flag that is
only really intended for implementing ioremap. Do you remember
what the reason is that this flag was used?

I don't remember the reason. I can that flag can be dropped per your
reasoning.
