You question seems to be xen-development related, so I have put the
other two to bcc.

You need to first translate the guest virtual address to a guest
physical address and then to a machine address which you can then map in
to Xen.

I think you need paging_gva_to_gfn for the first step, then one of the
get_gfn* functions, then map_domain_page. I don't know if there is a
helper which will simplify all this.

No. A paddr is a physical address, not a virtual one.

The latest xen.git contains a comment in xen/include/xen/mm.h which
describes the different types of memory.

To get a Xen virtual address for a domheap page you need to use
(un)map_domain_page on the underlying machine address (or struct
page_info *) to create a temporary mapping. For xenheap pages you can
use other mechanisms, but for an arbitrary guest page it is unlikely to
be from the xenheap.
