Short question: Do you have plans to port the gntdev userspace driver
(the one sitting in drivers/xen/gntdev/ in the 2.6.18 tree) to the
pv_ops kernel?

I poked at it a little bit, but didn't get very far because I wasn't sure if anyone actually wants it. But blktap2 essentially uses the same mechanism (or does it actually use gnttab?), and we'd like to get that working.

What do you want to do with it?   Do you want to bring it over?
