Some general remarks regarding this series:

You are starting the whole driver in drivers/xen/ and in the last patch
you move it over to drivers/dma-buf/. Why don't you use drivers/dma-buf/
from the beginning? The same applies to e.g. patch 22 changing the
license. Please make it easier for the reviewers by not letting us
review the development history of your work.

Please run ./scripts/checkpatch.pl on each patch and correct the issues
it is reporting. At the first glance I've seen several style problems
which I won't comment until the next round.

Please add the maintainers as Cc:, not only the related mailing lists.
As you seem to aim supporting other hypervisors than Xen you might want
to add virtualization@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx as well.
