xen-gntalloc: Userspace grant allocation driver
This allows a userspace application to allocate a shared page for implementing inter-domain communication or device drivers. These shared pages can be mapped using the gntdev device or by the kernel in another domain.

+/*
+ * This driver exists to allow userspace programs in Linux to allocate kernel
+ * memory that will later be shared with another domain. Without this device,
+ * Linux userspace programs cannot create grant references.
+ *
+ * How this stuff works:
+ * X -> granting a page to Y
+ * Y -> mapping the grant from X
+ *
+ * 1. X uses the gntalloc device to allocate a page of kernel memory, P.
+ * 2. X creates an entry in the grant table that says domid(Y) can access P.
+ * This is done without a hypercall unless the grant table needs expansion.
+ * 3. X gives the grant reference identifier, GREF, to Y.
+ * 4. Y maps the page, either directly into kernel memory for use in a backend
+ * driver, or via a the gntdev device to map into the address space of an
+ * application running in Y. This is the first point at which Xen does any
+ * tracking of the page.
+ * 5. A program in X mmap()s a segment of the gntalloc device that corresponds
+ * to the shared page, and can now communicate with Y over the shared page.
+ *
+ *
+ * NOTE TO USERSPACE LIBRARIES:
+ * The grant allocation and mmap()ing are, naturally, two separate operations.
+ * You set up the sharing by calling the create ioctl() and then the mmap().
+ * Teardown requires munmap() and either close() or ioctl().
+ *
+ * WARNING: Since Xen does not allow a guest to forcibly end the use of a grant
+ * reference, this device can be used to consume kernel memory by leaving grant
+ * references mapped by another domain when an application exits. Therefore,
+ * there is a global limit on the number of pages that can be allocated. When
+ * all references to the page are unmapped, it will be freed during the next
+ * grant operation.
