Perhaps add in here:

PVH is like PV in that there are no PCI devices - which HVM
code would piggyback on to find the Xen PCI platform device and
use its MMIO space to stash the grants in.

For PVH we balloon out memory and stash the grants in there.

(Which begs the next question - where and when do we balloon out the
normal memory back in?)
