Did you carefully consider the implications of using Xen heap pages
here as opposed to domain heap ones? On huge systems, this may
prevent kexec from working, as you're not just trying to allocate a
handful of pages. IOW, is the less complex code really worth the
increased likelihood of a failure here?
