Afaic: No movement from domheap to xenheap except for _very_ good reasons.
For the case here that is - maybe establish a permanent mapping using
vmap(), but no change in where the memory is to come from. Whether such a
permanent mapping is really worthwhile may also want supporting by numbers.
You say "often", but you don't qualify / quantify this any further.
