Hello,

Does Xen under any circumstances ever modify GPA -> HPA translations
_while_ a HVM guest is running? I could find no cases where that would
happen, but I would appreciate an authoritative answer.


Thanks,
Razvan

Of course we do, namely when asked to by the guest itself (see
grant table operations or XENMEM_*_physmap).
