[PATCH 02/10] xen/pvh: Fix PVHVM 32-bit bootup problems.

From: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk
Date: Tue Oct 23 2012 - 14:24:21 EST


With the split of the 'unsigned int space' in a 'u16 space'
and 'u16 foreign_domid' in xen_add_to_physmap the compiler
won't write the full 32-bit value in 'space'. Instead
it will write a 16-bit value - which is OK. The problem
is that we allocate the xen_add_to_physmap structure from
the stack which can (and it has) various garbage on it.

The end result is that without this patch we end up
providing this to the hypervisor:

xatp.space = 0xc1310001;
instead of:
xatp.space = 0x1;

Forcing the foreign_domid to 0, will over-write the garbage
that was on the stack.
