[Xen-devel] [PATCH v3 1/4] libxc/libxl: fill xc_hvm_build_args in libxl

[Wei Liu <wei.liu2@xxxxxxxxxx>]

When building HVM guests, originally some fields of xc_hvm_build_args
are filled in xc_hvm_build (and buried in the wrong function), some are
set in libxl__build_hvm before passing xc_hvm_build_args to
xc_hvm_build. This is fragile.

After examining the code in xc_hvm_build that sets those fields, we can
in fact move setting of mmio_start etc in libxl. This way we consolidate
memory layout setting in libxl.

The setting of firmware data related fields is left in xc_hvm_build
because it depends on parsing ELF image. Those fields only point to
scratch data that doesn't affect memory layout.

There should be no change in the generated guest memory layout. But the
semantic is changed for xc_hvm_build. Toolstack that built directly on
top of libxc need to adjust to this change.
