Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH RFC 1/7] xen: Relocate mem_access and mem_event into common.

In preparation to add support for ARM LPAE mem_event, relocate mem_access

Big patch and assuming code motion LGTM. Couple of observations though.

Take the opportunity to downgrade the aggressiveness of this at some point in this series. (I'd prefer to keep code motion patches as purely code motion).

A faulty tool stack can brick a debug hypervisor. Unpleasant while dev/test.

Presumably this [will later be|should be] changed to consider CONFIG_ARM?

Many more like that one below with the same comment.
