[PATCH 10/10] xen/mmu: Warn against races.

From: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk
Date: Tue Dec 21 2010 - 16:38:24 EST


The initial bootup code uses set_phys_to_machine quite a lot, and after
bootup it would be the balloon driver. The balloon driver does have
mutex lock so this should not be necessary - but just in case, add
a warning if we do hit this scenario.
