The patch looks much better than I expected, one of the benefits of
reusing the ramblock architecture!

why are you searching for an address within a range in
already_physmapped while you are just looking for a simple match in
link_exist? Shouldn't it be the same in both?

link_exist is always supposed to return a value here anyway, right?
With the current code is not possible to get here without a mapping, I
think.
However if you are trying to make xen_sync_dirty_bitmap more generic
you also need to handle the case in which start_addr is contained within
an already mapped range.
