Re: How to allocate a page inside the guest OS from Xen

["James (song wei)" <jsong@novell.com>]

I am not clear why did you want to let VM aware it. Gerenally speaking, mfn
-> gfn in p2m table. If the Guest OS can acess the pfn without "Page Fault"
, perhaps could satisfy you.  Hope this is helpful.
