[PATCH v4 1/2] XEN/X86: Improve semantic support for x86_init.mapping.pagetable_reserve

From: Attilio Rao
Date: Wed Aug 22 2012 - 11:22:28 EST


- Allow xen_mapping_pagetable_reserve() to handle a start different from
pgt_buf_start, but still bigger than it.
- Add checks to xen_mapping_pagetable_reserve() and native_pagetable_reserve()
for verifying start and end are contained in the range
[pgt_buf_start, pgt_buf_top].
- In xen_mapping_pagetable_reserve(), change printk into pr_debug.
- In xen_mapping_pagetable_reserve(), print out diagnostic only if there is
an actual need to do that (or, in other words, if there are actually some
pages going to switch from RO to RW).
