Yes that's a good idea and would avoid the grant table addition.
My only concern would be future acceptance into the mainstream
Linux kernel, especially on the domU side since I'd like to see
this idea used for dom0 => domU as well.
However, I'm certainly happy to explore doing it in the way you
suggested.
