Changes in v4:
- Use the patch #4 from dom0 pvh v6 series. We need it for ARM
Is this really the right patch? I'd have thought it would need to
include some generic/!x86 bits but:
This patch introduce p2m_map_foreign type. I think it's safe to push it
without the other patches.
Is it really that simple? I suppose there is nothing to create a foreign
mapping on x86 yet so this is harmless?
I'm mostly concerned because the big remaining concern about this stuff
on x86 relates to the reference counting of foreign p2m entries. I'll
defer to the x86 chaps about whether that conversation is directly
related to or impacts this patch or not.
Do you have the reference counting for the new p2m type sorted out
sufficiently?
