[Xen-devel] Re: [PATCH 3/7] libxenlight resend: 8mb physmap slack for pv domains



No extra memory is being allocated at all in any way. The only impact is a wee bit larger p2m table.

Note that this does not allocate any extra memory
to the domain, it simply extends the physmap with
some extra room for "bounce bufffering back" pfn's
that are yielded to dom0.

but the memory is still going off from somewhere isn't it ?
all those random memory constants spread around in xend took us quite some time
to get things right in XCP and XenServer, and also for keeping the library as
dumb as possible, I'ld rather have the toolstack set the field in the structure
(even if it end up beeing 8M all the time) than starting adding those things.
