While I don't recall which recent patch (series) it was, I can't very well say "no new xenheap allocations please" there without also saying so here. I've read over patch 1's description, and while it tries to justify this accordingly, I still remain concerned. I think we simply have to accept the mapping overhead, to avoid allocating from a pool which - over time - is representing a decreasing portion of total memory systems have (on average, and not even considering systems with extremely sparse memory layouts, and with perhaps PDX compression not doing good enough to compensate).
