[Xen-devel] [RFC PATCH v2 4/8] arm/mem_access: Add short-descriptor pte typedefs

[Sergej Proskurin <proskurin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The current implementation does not provide appropriate types for
short-descriptor translation table entries. As such, this commit adds new
types, which simplify managing the respective translation table entries.
