[PATCH] Revert "xen/balloon: Mark unallocated host memory as UNUSABLE"

From: Igor Druzhinin
Date: Tue Nov 27 2018 - 15:58:36 EST


This reverts commit b3cf8528bb21febb650a7ecbf080d0647be40b9f.

That commit unintentionally broke Xen balloon memory hotplug with
"hotplug_unpopulated" set to 1. As long as "System RAM" resource
got assigned under a new "Unusable memory" resource in IO/Mem tree
any attempt to online this memory would fail due to general kernel
restrictions on having "System RAM" resources as 1st level only.

The original issue that commit has tried to workaround fa564ad96366
("x86/PCI: Enable a 64bit BAR on AMD Family 15h (Models 00-1f, 30-3f,
60-7f)") also got amended by the following 03a551734 ("x86/PCI: Move
and shrink AMD 64-bit window to avoid conflict") which made the
original fix to Xen ballooning unnecessary.

In mail thread [1] it was agreed to revert the change due to technical
comlications of fixing it and the fact that there is no any strong reason
to keep it.
