Should this be:

if (start >= end)

?

Also here, shouldn't it be:

if (start == end)

?

I think I am missing again something in termination accounting :-)

By definition I don't think this check is necessary as either condition
is impossible?

Do we need to set any flags so that the system can reuse the memory in
the hole, e.g. IORESOURCE_MEM? Or is it not necessary?

Although it is impossible to enable XEN_UNPOPULATED_ALLOC on arm32 due
to unmet dependencies, I would like to keep the implementation of
arch_xen_unpopulated_init 32bit clean.

I am getting build errors like (by forcing arch_xen_unpopulated_init to
compile on arm32):

./include/linux/kern_levels.h:5:18: warning: format ‘%llx’ expects argument of type ‘long long unsigned int’, but argument 3 has type ‘resource_size_t {aka unsigned int}’ [-Wformat=]
