ad, we change the application's page tables to point to the other domain's memory. This means that the vma cannot be copied without using another grant mapping hypercall; it also requires special handling on unmap, which is the reason for gntdev's dependency on the MMU notifier. For gntalloc, this is not a concern - the pages are owned by the domain using the gntalloc device, and can be mapped and unmapped in the same manner as any other page of memory.
