[PATCH 25/27] x86: define arch_vm_get_page_prot to set _PAGE_IOMAP on VM_IO vmas

From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge
Date: Fri Mar 13 2009 - 13:06:52 EST


From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@xxxxxxxxxx>

Set _PAGE_IOMAP in ptes mapping a VM_IO vma. This says that the mapping
is of a real piece of physical hardware, and not just system memory.

Xen, in particular, uses to this to inhibit the normal pfn->mfn conversion
that would normally happen - in other words, treat the address directly
as a machine physical address without converting it from pseudo-physical.
