Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH v12 1/9] iommu: introduce the concept of DFN...



Hi Paul,

This patch is a largely cosmetic change that substitutes the terms 'gfn'
and 'gaddr' for 'dfn' and 'daddr' in all the places where the frame number
or address relate to a device rather than the CPU.

The parts that are not purely cosmetic are:

  - the introduction of a type-safe declaration of dfn_t and definition of
    INVALID_DFN to make the substitution of gfn_x(INVALID_GFN) mechanical.
  - the introduction of __dfn_to_daddr and __daddr_to_dfn (and type-safe
    variants without the leading __) with some use of the former.

Subsequent patches will convert code to make use of type-safe DFNs.
