I realize that privcmd_call is the only hypercall using Software PAN at the moment. However, dm_op needs the same as hypercall will be issued from userspace as well.

So I was wondering whether we should create a generic function (e.g. do_xen_hypercall() or do_xen_user_hypercall()) to cover the two hypercalls?

This change feels a bit out of context. Could you split it in a separate patch?
