I took this patch, but I redid it a bit:
commit 1d4cb410befdb8b373c6fad604b39e0200e0bee0 Author: Roger Pau Monne <roger.pau@citrix.com> Date: Mon Mar 18 17:49:32 2013 +0100
xen-blkback: don't store dev_bus_addr
dev_bus_addr returned in the grant ref map operation is the mfn of the passed page, there's no need to store it in the persistent grant entry, since we can always get it provided that we have the page.
This reduces the memory overhead of persistent grants in blkback.
While at it, rename the 'seg[i].buf' to be 'seg[i].offset' as it makes much more sense - as we use that value in bio_add_page which as the fourth argument expects the offset.
We hadn't used the physical address as part of this at all.
