Thanks so much for posting this.

Is it better to keep printk here? In your last patch, you removed it
because gnttab_request_version and gnttab_resume are all called in
gnttab_init. and gnttab_resume also contains calling of
gnttab_request_version. But in this patch, gnttab_setup is used, and
does not have this issue now.

See comments above.
