This will be always the size of a grant (e.g xen page size), right? If 
so, I would prefer if you use XEN_PAGE_SIZE to so we can easily update 
Linux in the case Xen is using a different page size.
Note that the Front-end, Backend and Xen may use different page size, so 
your drivers would need to cope with that. The current approach is to 
always use the page granularity of Xen.
