Hi Tim,
I am trying to implement a secure architecture where a process' (selected) memory pages have to be set as read-only. The process will send the virtual address of pages required (through a custom hypercall) to be set read-only. I need to compute the physical address of the pages and set them read-only.

Yes, Xen has lots of code that makes guest memory read-only for various
reasons, and one of them might be suitable. What's your overall goal?
