There's no need to introduce this field, you can just use v->vcpu_info
& ~PAGE_MASK AFAICT.

Just doing what you suggest above results in:

mem_sharing.c:1603:55: error: invalid operands to binary & (have
‘vcpu_info_t * const’ {aka ‘union <anonymous> * const’} and ‘long
int’)
                                      d_vcpu->vcpu_info & ~PAGE_MASK);

I can of course cast the vcpu_info pointer to (long int), it's just a
bit ugly. Thoughts?

FWIW, I will also need the offset for liveupdate. I have used (unsigned long)v->vcpu_info & ~PAGE_MASK so far but this is not really pretty.

So I am all for either a new field or a macro hiding this uglyness.
