I looked at final gntdev.c code and I think at least one of the chunks
there ("DMA buffer export support. ") can also be moved out. It still
have a bit too many ifdefs but it looks better to my eye than jamming
everything into a single file (and I think more code can be moved out,
but we can talk about it when you post the patches so that we can see
context).

BTW, I believe it won't build with !CONFIG_XEN_GNTDEV_DMABUF ---
gntdev_remove_map() is defined under this option and is referenced later
without it.
