[Xen-devel] [PATCH 0/2] Document pagetable_reserve PVOP and enforce a better semantic

[Attilio Rao <attilio.rao@xxxxxxxxxx>]

When looking for documenting the pagetable_reserve PVOP, I realized that it
assumes start == pgt_buf_start. I think this is not semantically right
(even if with the current code this should not be a problem in practice) and
what we really want is to extend the logic in order to do the RO -> RW
convertion also for the range [pgt_buf_start, start).
This patch then implements this missing conversion, adding some smaller
cleanups and finally provides documentation for the PVOP.
Please look at 2/2 for more details on how the comment is structured.
If we get this right we will have a reference to be used later on for others
PVOPs.
A preliminary version of this patch has been already reviewed by
Stefano Stabellini.
