[Xen-devel] [PATCH for 4.5 v7 1/1] Add mmio_hole_size



If you add enough PCI devices then all mmio may not fit below 4G
which may not be the layout the user wanted. This allows you to
increase the below 4G address space that PCI devices can use and
therefore in more cases not have any mmio that is above 4G.

There are real PCI cards that do not support mmio over 4G, so if you
want to emulate them precisely, you may also need to increase the
space below 4G for them. There are drivers for these cards that also
do not work if they have their mmio space mapped above 4G.

This allows growing the MMIO hole to the size needed.

This may help with using pci passthru and HVM.

v7:
    QEMU 2.1.0 reference confusing.
      Dropped.
    Why have assert(i < 9) & assert(i < 11)
      Dropped.
    This check for 256MB is surely obfuscated by the macros.
      Added comment to help.

v6:
    I think we should get rid of xc_hvm_build_with_hole() entirely.
      Done.
    Add text describing restrictions on hole size
      Done.
    "<=", to be consistent with the check in
        libxl__domain_create_info_setdefault ()
      Done

v5:
  Add LIBXL_HAVE_BUILDINFO_HVM_MMIO_HOLE_SIZE.

v4:
    s/pci_hole_min_size/mmio_hole_size/
    s/HVM_BELOW_4G_RAM_END/HVM_BELOW_4G_MMIO_START/
    Add ignore to hvmloader message
    Adjust commit message    
    Dropped min; stopped mmio_hole_size changing in hvmloader
