Use a single mmap interface in libxc.
This patch modifies xc_map_foreign_range and xc_map_foreign_ranges to call
mmap_map_foreign_batch. This eliminates the need for multiple privcmd mmap
ioctls. Now only IOCTL_PRIVCMD_MMAPBATCH is required.

Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH] Use a single mmap interface in libxc
The idea is that the privcmd interface can also only have one mmap function instead of two (something to be done to privcmd in pvops). This simplifies things and removes unnecessary redundant code. While map_batch might not be the ideal interface, I think it''s a step in the right direction, anyway. Also, for the project I''m working on, I need to intercept mmap calls. This required me to have to put similar code in two places and, as it turned out, modifying the mmap_foreign_range functions was going to be difficult. mmap_batch can do everything required for map_foreign_range (and more), so it seemed like the thing to do was to use that for everything so there was just the one call into privcmd (and just one spot to edit code).
