The hypercall interface (as well as the toolstack) is always using 4KB page granularity. When the toolstack is asking for mapping a series of guest PFN in a batch, it expects to have the page map contiguously in its virtual memory. When Linux is using 64KB page granularity, the privcmd driver will have to map multiple Xen PFN in a single Linux page. Note that this solution works on page granularity which is a multiple of 4KB.
