[Xen-devel] [PATCH v4] xen/arm: Rework the way to compute dom0 DTB base address



If the DTB is loading right after the kernel, on some setup, Linux will
overwrite the DTB during the decompression step.

To be sure the DTB won't be overwritten by the decompression stage, load
the DTB near the end of the first memory bank and below 4Gib (if memory range is
greater).

Signed-off-by: Julien Grall <julien.grall@xxxxxxxxxx>

Changes in v4:
    - Rename type to ktype to avoid clash name on arm64

Changes in v3:
    - Rework comments
    - Missing blank line
    - Transform dtb_check_overlap to a void function
    - Directly panic in dtb_check_overlap
    - Use the right formula to check the overlap

Changes in v2:
    - Align the DTB base address to 2Mib
    - Add dtb_check_overlap to check if the kernel will overlap the DTB
    - Fix typo
