Because the next patch is going to make this change:

-   return ((pfn != mfn) && !is_device_dma_coherent(dev));
+   return (!hypercall_cflush && (pfn != mfn) && !is_device_dma_coherent(dev));

and I think it makes sense to keep hypercall_cflush as a static variable
within arch/arm/xen/mm.c (avoid exporting it in page.h).
