[Xen-devel] [Patch V4 13/16] xen: add explicit memblock_reserve() calls for special pages

[Juergen Gross <jgross@xxxxxxxx>]

Some special pages containing interfaces to xen are being reserved
implicitly only today. The memblock_reserve() call to reserve them is
meant to reserve the p2m list supplied by xen. It is just reserving
not only the p2m list itself, but some more pages up to the start of
the xen built page tables.

To be able to move the p2m list to another pfn range, which is needed
for support of huge RAM, this memblock_reserve() must be split up to
cover all affected reserved pages explicitly.

The affected pages are:
- start_info page
- xenstore ring
- console ring
- shared_info page
