It's not clear what you are asking. Can you be more precise?

Again, it's not clear what you are asking. If you are
asking if the guest can map the order=9 page into its
memory space, I think the answer is no. If you are
asking if Xen can use the memory on behalf of a
domain, for example to copy data from the domain into
Xen (like tmem does), I think the answer is yes.
