[Xen-devel] [PATCH v5 1/2] add a new p2m type class - P2M_DISCARD_WRITE_TYPES

[Yu Zhang <yu.c.zhang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

From: Yu Zhang <yu.c.zhang@xxxxxxxxx>

Currently, the P2M_RO_TYPES bears 2 meanings: one is
"_PAGE_RW bit is clear in their PTEs", and another is
to discard the write operations on these pages. This
patch adds a p2m type class, P2M_DISCARD_WRITE_TYPES,
to bear the second meaning, so we can use this type
class instead of the P2M_RO_TYPES, to decide if a write
operation is to be ignored.
