Yes, my plan is:

   1. when installing a grant in a pte page, allocate a shadow page and
      hang it off page->private; also set a page flag on the pgd page
      flags (steal something spare)
   2. store the grant handle in the slot corresponding to the pte
   3. when clearing the pte, check to see if there's a grant handle and
      zap it
   4. when unpinning the pagetable, check to see if there's the "grant
      mapping" flag in the pgd, and do a grant-zap pass before unpinning
