[PATCH 13/14] i386 / Introduce hypervisor ldt hooks

From: zach
Date: Wed Aug 10 2005 - 23:59:11 EST


Add hooks that the hypervisor can use to establish writable and non-writable
pages for LDT pages. I made these parallel the page flags as defined in
include/linux/page-flags.h, since the flag mechanism is very similar to the
hypercall page flagging, and extended easily later to include PT, PD, PDP,
GDT, etc.

Patch-against: 2.6.13-rc5-mm1
Patch-keys: i386 ldt paravirt xen
