[PATCH v3 0/2] XEN/X86: Document pagetable_reserve PVOPS and enforce a better semantic

[Attilio Rao]

When looking for documenting the pagetable_reserve PVOPS, I realized that it
assumes start == pgt_buf_start. I think this is not semantically right
(even if with the current code this should not be a problem in practice) and
what we really want is to extend the logic in order to do the RO -> RW
convertion also for the range [pgt_buf_start, start).
This patch then implements this missing conversion, adding some smaller
cleanups and finally provides documentation for the PVOPS.
Please look at 2/2 for more details on how the comment is structured.
If we get this right we will have a reference to be used later on for others
PVOPS.

The difference with v1 is that sh_start local variable in
xen_mapping_pagetable_reserve() is renamed as begin. Also, the commit messages
have been tweaked.

The difference with v2 is that compiling warnings for x86_32 are fixed
about the usage of wrong format strings for panic() and pr_debug(). Also,
the range printing format has been unified and PFN_PHYS() members are
casted to u64 on printing, to remain consistent (which is basically
what also lib/swiotlb.c does.
