Yes, it's because of the extra dom0 mapping. The count is 2 because one
reference is held at this point by the freeing function in Xen.

The comment above that warning in the Xen source is a bit strong. I don't
think we can change the semantics of the existing command but we may add a
new one to let the caller know whether the page(s) could immediately be
freed.
