[Xen-devel] [PATCH v3 0/2] Extend ioreq-server to support page write protection

[Wei Ye <wei.ye@xxxxxxxxx>]

Changes from v1:
 - Changes the new p2m type name from p2m_ram_wp to p2m_mmio_write_dm. This
   means that we treat the pages as a special mmio range instead of ram.
 - Move macros to c file since only this file is using them.
 - Address various comments from Jan.

Changes from v2:
 - Remove excute attribute of the new p2m type p2m_mmio_write_dm
 - Use existing rangeset for keeping the write protection page range instead of
   introducing hash table.
 - Some code style fix.

ioreq-server is proposed to forward PIO and MMIO request to multiple device
models according to the io range. XenGT (Intel Graphics Virtualization 
technology,
please refer to https://01.org/xen/blogs/srclarkx/2013/graphics-virtualization-
xengt) driver reside in Dom0 as a virtual graphics device model also need to 
trap
and emulate the guest's write operation to some specific memory pages, like the
memory pages used by guest graphics driver as PPGTT(per-process graphics 
translation table). We add an new p2m type "p2m_mmio_write_dm" to trap the page
write operation. Page of this new p2m type is read only and for write, the 
request
will go to device model via ioreq-server.

  x86: add p2m_mmio_write_dm
  ioreq-server: write protected range and forwarding
