Hi, Stefano!
I'm just curious if the below is on your TODO list [1]:
3. Future Directions:
====================================================
Allow users to optionally share *mfn-contiguous* pages.
Thank you,

Hi,
This series implements a new xl config entry. Users can use the new
config entry to statically setup shared memory areas among VMs that
don't have grant table support so that they could communicate with each
other through the static shared memory areas.
It was originally developed by Zhongze, I am just updating the last few
issued that were address during the last round of reviews in January. I
tested the feature on ARM and works fine.
Cheers,
Stefano
