Introduce Xen grant DMA-mapping layer which contains special DMA-mapping routines for providing grant references as DMA addresses to be used by frontends (e.g. virtio) in Xen guests. Add the needed functionality by providing a special set of DMA ops handling the needed grant operations for the I/O pages. The subsequent commit will introduce the use case for xen-grant DMA ops layer to enable using virtio devices in Xen guests in a safe manner.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
