The code looks good to me, but I feel odd that a *gfn*_to_pfn_cache is
used, but gfn is not taken into account.

I think if it is possible we introduce an hva_to_pfn_cache(hpc) that
actually does most of the job in this file. Xen could directly use hpc,
and gfn_to_pfn_cache works on top of hpc.


BTW: I also see there is a gfn_to_hva_cache which does pretty much the
same as gpc's first half job. Is it possible to unify them like:

struct gfn_to_pfn_cache {
	struct gfn_to_hva_cache ghc;
	struct hva_to_pfn_cache hpc;
	...
}

Just my two cents.

Thanks,
Yilun
