32 bit guest on 64 bit h/v, but yes, it refers only to the size of the
mapping of the compat M2P which the hypervisor provides for the guest in
the "hypervisor hole".

Agreed, and in any case if the guest/tools wants to ask for more
mappings than it can cope with, that's its own problem...

max_page is already unsigned long, so only the overall expression needs
casting (since compat_machine_to_phys_mapping is an int *), right?

Ian.
