IOCTL_PRIVCMD_GET_MACH2PHYS_START_MFN is a read, not a write. (save/restore, part 2)
This is one of those one-character changes that I find myself making
surprisingly often:

* @cmd: IOCTL_PRIVCMD_INITDOMAIN_EVTCHN
The purpose of that ioctl is to get an unsigned long from the kernel,
not to send one in; a look at the ~1 line of code implementing it in
privcmd.c will confirm this. I have not attempted to provide binary
compatibility because it's completely broken the way it is: the
copyout won't happen because the read flag isn't set in the ioctl
selector, so the user process will get whatever uninitialized value
was in the memory before, which completely defeats the purpose.
This also affects pkgsrc, which has a copy of xenio.h; but this isn't
terribly useful without two very minor changes to xentools's libxc,
which I'll be sending mail about shortly.
