[Xen-devel] [PATCH 10/17] xen/arm64: head: Improve coding style and document create_pages_tables()

[Julien Grall <julien.grall@xxxxxxx>]

Adjust the coding style used in the comments within create_pages_tables()

Lastly, document the behavior and the main registers usage within the
function. Note that x25 is now only used within the function, so it does
not need to be part of the common register.
