[Xen-devel] [PATCH v3 4/5] libxl/xl: add memory policy option to iomem



Add a new memory policy option for the iomem parameter.
Possible values are:
- arm_dev_nGnRE, Device-nGnRE, the default on ARM
- arm_mem_WB, WB cachable memory
- x86_UC_minus: uncachable memory, the default on x86

Store the parameter in a new field in libxl_iomem_range.

Pass the memory policy option to xc_domain_mem_map_policy.

Do the libxl to libxc value conversion in per-arch functions so that we
can return error for x86 parameters on Arm architectures and vice versa.

Andrew suggested to remove MEMORY_POLICY_X86_UC_MINUS and x86_UC_minus
completely.  If that's the consensus I am happy to respin the series
removing code.


Changes in v3:
- s/nGRE/nGnRE/g
- s/LIBXL_MEMORY_POLICY_ARM_DEV_NGRE/LIBXL_MEMORY_POLICY_ARM_DEV_NGNRE/g
- s/arm_devmem/arm_dev_nGnRE/g
- s/arm_memory/arm_mem_WB/g
- improve commit message
- improve man page
- s/MEMORY_POLICY_X86_UC/MEMORY_POLICY_X86_UC_MINUS/g
- s/x86_uc/x86_UC_minus/g
- move security support clarification to a separate patch

Changes in v2:
- add #define LIBXL_HAVE_MEMORY_POLICY
- ability to part the memory policy parameter even if gfn is not passed
- rename cache_policy to memory policy
- rename MEMORY_POLICY_DEVMEM to MEMORY_POLICY_ARM_DEV_nGRE
- rename MEMORY_POLICY_MEMORY to MEMORY_POLICY_ARM_MEM_WB
- rename memory to arm_memory and devmem to arm_devmem
- expand the non-security support status to non device passthrough iomem
  configurations
- rename iomem options
- add x86 specific iomem option
