[PATCH v12 04/18] xen/pvh: Don't setup P2M tree.

[Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk]

P2M is not available for PVH. Fortunatly for us the
P2M code already has mostly the support for auto-xlat guest thanks to
commit 3d24bbd7dddbea54358a9795abaf051b0f18973c
"grant-table: call set_phys_to_machine after mapping grant refs"
which: "
introduces set_phys_to_machine calls for auto_translated guests
(even on x86) in gnttab_map_refs and gnttab_unmap_refs.
translated by swiotlb-xen... " so we don't need to muck much.

with above mentioned "commit you'll get set_phys_to_machine calls
from gnttab_map_refs and gnttab_unmap_refs but PVH guests won't do
anything with them " (Stefano Stabellini) which is OK - we want
them to be NOPs.

This is because we assume that an "IOMMU is always present on the
plaform and Xen is going to make the appropriate IOMMU pagetable
changes in the hypercall implementation of GNTTABOP_map_grant_ref
and GNTTABOP_unmap_grant_ref, then eveything should be transparent
from PVH priviligied point of view and DMA transfers involving
foreign pages keep working with no issues[sp]

Otherwise we would need a P2M (and an M2P) for PVH priviligied to
track these foreign pages .. (see arch/arm/xen/p2m.c)."
(Stefano Stabellini).

We still have to inhibit the building of the P2M tree.
That had been done in the past by not calling
xen_build_dynamic_phys_to_machine (which setups the P2M tree
and gives us virtual address to access them). But we are missing
a check for xen_build_mfn_list_list - which was continuing to setup
the P2M tree and would blow up at trying to get the virtual
address of p2m_missing (which would have been setup by
xen_build_dynamic_phys_to_machine).

Hence a check is needed to not call xen_build_mfn_list_list when
running in auto-xlat mode.

Instead of replicating the check for auto-xlat in enlighten.c
do it in the p2m.c code. The reason is that the xen_build_mfn_list_list
is called also in xen_arch_post_suspend without any checks for
auto-xlat. So for PVH or PV with auto-xlat - we would needlessly
allocate space for an P2M tree.
