docs/misc/xen-command-line.markdown says:
### gnttab\_max\_frames
> `= <integer>`
Specify the maximum number of frames per grant table operation.
Is this true? I thought the limit was on the number of pages which the
guest may use as grant table memory, rather than the maximum number of
operations which a single gnttabop is allowed to contain.
Also:
### gnttab\_max\_maptrack\_frames
> `= <integer>`
Specify the maximum number of maptrack frames domain.
I can't parse this one at all. I think it might be trying to say that it
specifies a per-domain maximum to the number of pages used as maptrack
pages?
Ian.

Indeed the wording looks bogus, not the least because "grant table
operation" can be taken to mean different things. And yes, the
value limits the domain's grant table.

Yes indeed. Not sure how both of these slipped through.

Thanks, I'll send a patch for both.
