Thanks for documenting this.

How do the three describe values relate to xc_dominfo_t->nr_pages?
The comment there suggests that nr_pages could be even higher at some
point. Is the max number of pages a domain can allocate
(xc_dominfo_t->max_memkb / 1024)?
If so, then xenpaging should not use nr_pages but max_memkb.
