I would say just include it at the start of the function (and #undef
at the end), and maybe later on (if you want to) do a cleanup patch for
this and dump_pageframe_info to be controlled by the same
'too long to display' logic.

Which I would say could be a function that :
 - if 'loglvl=info' is used would do the 10.
 - if 'loglvl=all', then there is no limit.

But that is such a minor thing.

Aah, that is good information. Please include that in the commit.

If there is a misbehaving backend and this cases the domain to crash
right after the soft reset 'g' option will not be available and it won't
be clear what caused the domain to crash.

Yes, it is just a debug aid in cases something goes wrong in
future. This info is supposed to be useful for hardware domain admin to
help finding misbehaving backends.

debug aid (i.e. failing the operation if the count was exceeded). If
the number indeed only controls how many entries get printed,
then a #define certainly is fine.

That sounds like overkill to me, what's wrong with some random hardcoded
number for a simple debug aid like this?

Or even be command line controllable.

Is there an particular reason 10 was choosen instead of 42 for example :-)

Also the 10 should probably have an #define for it.

Not sure I understand the usage case - except for development uses
to report on the Xen console? But if that is the case why not
use the 'g' on the ring console?
