[Xen-devel] [Patch] allocate_empty_lowmem_region in non-privileged domains

[Ross McIlroy <ross.mcilroy@xxxxxxxxx>]

Below is a patch to the enable allocate_empty_lowmem_region in
on-privileged domains, so that backend drivers can map granted foreign
pages even if they are running in an unprivileged domain. (as per the
"allocate_empty_lowmem_region hypervisor function" thread discussion)

Thanks

Ross
