That would be the right answer I think, but I don't see the a VCPU_deregister
call (only VCPU_register).
But perhaps the XENMEM_decrease_reservation for the particular MFN is the
answer to do a VCPU "de-register" ?

Wait, we can map multiple shared_info? Ooh, somehow I thought the guest
could only do one registration.
