VM followup: page migration and fragmentation avoidance

My (limited) understanding of Xen suggests not; Xen maps pages directly into the guest's address space (it just indirects page table changes through the hypervisor). Therefore, Xen doesn't gain from physical page migration or defragmentation (it always maps page-by-page, not in blocks).
