The existing convention seems to be for _ref to be a suffix, although
it's only actually used on the end_*_ref ones.
+ int (*end_foreign_access_ref)(grant_ref_t, int);
+ unsigned long (*end_foreign_transfer_ref)(grant_ref_t);

Also it occurs to me that access_* sounds like something which uses a
ref rather than something which sets one up. The existing hook to setup
a normal grant is called "update_entry". Perhaps
update_{subpage,transitive}_entry?
