[Xen-devel] [PATCH] expand x86 arch_shared_info to support >3 level p2m tree

[Juergen Gross <jgross@xxxxxxxx>]

The x86 struct arch_shared_info field pfn_to_mfn_frame_list_list
currently contains the mfn of the top level page frame of the 3 level
p2m tree, which is used by the Xen tools during saving and restoring
(and live migration) of pv domains. With three levels of the p2m tree
it is possible to support up to 512 GB of RAM for a pv domain. To be
able to support more RAM an additional level is to be added.

This patch expands struct arch_shared_info with a new p2m tree root
and the number of levels of the p2m tree. The new information is
indicated by the domain to be valid by storing ~0UL into
pfn_to_mfn_frame_list_list (this should be done only if more than
three levels are needed, of course).
