    xen/privcmd: improve performance of MMAPBATCH_V2 · 4e8c0c8c

    Make the IOCTL_PRIVCMD_MMAPBATCH_V2 (and older V1 version) map
    multiple frames at a time rather than one at a time, despite the pages
    being non-consecutive GFNs.
    
    xen_remap_foreign_mfn_array() is added which maps an array of GFNs
    (instead of a consecutive range of GFNs).
    
    Since per-frame errors are returned in an array, privcmd must set the
    MMAPBATCH_V1 error bits as part of the "report errors" phase, after
    all the frames are mapped.
    
    Migrate times are significantly improved (when using a PV toolstack
    domain).  For example, for an idle 12 GiB PV guest:
    
            Before     After
      real  0m38.179s  0m26.868s
      user  0m15.096s  0m13.652s
      sys   0m28.988s  0m18.732s
