Yes, and it used in the relevant pieces of code (hyp calls)
One question though, why do you need to map them in advance? Couldn't you map 
them on demand?

Well, we need to at least estimate the pg_table size so we can reserve and 
allocate memory later,

Oh, so U-boot doesn't support runtime page-table table allocation. Is that right?


so I have to provide memory range from either by coding a constant or looking 
into the devtree at

hypervisor { reg = <>; }. It is a bit tricky though

Looking for a node in the device-tree shouldn't be too difficult given that you have fdt_* available.

However, please not that <reg> doesn't refer to the guest magic pages. Instead, it provides a region you can use for mapping the grant-table frames
