* Xen so that we can have one ABI that works for 32 and 64 bit guests.
* Note that this means that the xen_pfn_t type may be capable of
* representing pfn's which the guest cannot represent in its own pfn
* type. However since pfn space is controlled by the guest this is
* fine since it simply wouldn't be able to create any sure pfns in
* the first place.
