The comments here aren't anything major, just suggestions.	-Alex

Insert a tab before BIT(0) to align with the value assigned
to GH_MEM_SHARE_REQ_FLAGS_APPEND, above.  Same comment will
apply to GH_RM_VM_STOP_FLAG_FORCE_STOP (and so on).

Perhaps you can compute and cache these sizes, and use them
both here and below when computing the addresses of the
sections within the message.

Should you use struct_size(), or maybe flex_array_size() in the
line above?

Here too.

Again, the "package" here doesn't clarify things for me.

Maybe just "Information about the memory to be lent"?

Does "ipa" represent "intermediate physical address"?  Please at
least explain that, and preferably, rename the field so it's a
little more explicit (maybe "intermediate_addr"?).

The term "Package info", when describing a type you have named "parcel"
is a little confusing.  I think you could safely drop "Package" (here
and elsewhere).

My understanding is that a parcel is a Gunyah representation of a set
of memory regions that have been passed (lent or shared) to one or
more other VMs, defining access permisions for each VM to all of the
regions in the parcel.

When you refer to a symbol in kernel-doc, you can use @acl_entries 
rather than something like `acl-entries`.

I don't know if this is required, but I suggest you list the
descriptions here in the same order as the fields are defined
in the structure below.
