OK, I see.  So what you want is xmalloc to be the only interface.
And "temporary" means until Xen no longer supports 32-bit at all?

Will you take this patch then?  I think this patch meets your
objectives and is greatly simplified.

I'm just trying to contribute to your stated objective:

> Xenheap will disappear entirely on x86/64 in future.

and trying to get the syntax/semantics pinned down.  Is
this not what you intended to implement for 3.4?  Or did
you have something entirely different in mind?

Thanks,
Dan
