[PATCHv2 03/10] x86/xen: discard RAM regions above the maximum reservation

From: David Vrabel
Date: Fri Jul 24 2015 - 07:48:27 EST


During setup, discard RAM regions that are above the maximum
reservation (instead of marking them as E820_UNUSABLE). This allows
hotplug memory to be placed at these addresses.
