Something along the lines of the following?
/**
* Memory maps one or more grant references from one or more domains to a
* contiguous local address range. Mappings should be unmapped with
* xc_gnttab_munmap. Returns NULL on failure.
*
* @parm xcg_handle a handle on an open grant table interface
* @parm count the number of grant references to be mapped
* @parm domids an array of @count domain IDs by which the corresponding
@refs
* were granted
* @parm refs an array of @count grant references to be mapped
* @parm prot same flag as in mmap()
*/
void *xc_gnttab_map_grant_refs(int xcg_handle,
uint32_t count,
uint32_t *domids,
uint32_t *refs,
int prot);

Agreed.
Cheers,
