I think checking is not the right solution, what will you do if the 
range is effectively clash to another one?

On a previous mail (see 
http://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2014-03/msg00036.html), 
Ian has proposed to exposed the layout of the host to the guest. That 
will allow you to map the memory in 1:1.

I will need this item for device passthrough soon. I can take care of 
this item if you want.

Regards,
