[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2 7/8] xen/x86: Use 2M superpages for text/data/bss mappings

[Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This balloons the size of Xen in memory from 4.4MB to 8MB, because of the
required alignment adjustments.

However
 * All mappings are 2M superpages.
 * .text (and .init at boot) are the only sections marked executable.
 * .text and .rodata are marked read-only.

v2:
 * .data and .bss are adjcent (from earlier patch), so don't require 2M
   alignment
