Nit:  The 'page_num' nomenclature really confused me here.  It is the
number of bits being set in the bitmap.  Seems like calling it nr_pages
or num_pages would be more appropriate.

Isn't this bitmap out of date by the time it's send up to the
hypervisor?  Is there something that makes the inaccuracy OK here?
