The more normal way to do this would be to make gnttab_interface a
pointer, define gnttab_v1_ops and do:
gnttab_interface =&gnttab_v1_ops;
or if the pointer overhead is significant remove that and just do a
struct assignment:
gnttab_interface = gnttab_v1_ops;

If using this way, we need two more public structures(gnttab_v1_ops
and gnttab_v2_ops), and two more functions to initialize those two
structures and then initialize the pointer gnttab_interface. It is
more complicated, am i missing something?
Why two functions? I agree on the structures - but they need not to be
public (they can be static).

For a good example look at how apic_physflat is done.
Thanks, static structure is simpler and clean. I am very glad to change that.:-)

Thanks
