Instead of a virtual kernel address use a pointer of the associated
struct page as second parameter of gnttab_end_foreign_access().
Most users have that pointer available already and are creating the
virtual address from it, risking problems in case the memory is
located in highmem.
gnttab_end_foreign_access() itself won't need to get the struct page
from the address again.

based frontends. Currently the frontends which implement
similar code for sharing big buffers between frontend and
backend are para-virtualized DRM and sound drivers.
Both define the same way to share grant references of a
data buffer with the corresponding backend with little
differences.
Move shared code into a helper module, so there is a single
implementation of the same functionality for all.
This patch introduces code which is used by sound and display
frontend drivers without functional changes with the intention
to remove shared code from the corresponding drivers.
