Yup, I already had that change in my tree.

Yes, it is: 4 bytes integers are 4-byte aligned on 32 bit and 64 bit
on x86.

Has this been checked actually for backwards compatibility? It sounds
like it should work just fine with Xen 4.0 right?

I believe this also helps Mukesh's patches, so CC-ing him here for
his Ack.

I can put this in right now in tree if we are 100% sure its compatiblie with 
4.0.

[PATCH 20/24] xen: update xen_add_to_physmap interface

Update struct xen_add_to_physmap to be in sync with Xen's version of the
structure.

user:Jean Guyader

According to the comment:

"This new field .size is located in the 16 bits padding between .domid

This is not true on ARM where there is not padding, but it is valid on
X86, so introducing size is safe on X86 and it is going to fix the
