[Xen-devel] [PATCH v3 0/9] Add alternative API for Xen PTEs

[Hongyan Xia <hongyax@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This batch adds an alternative alloc-map-unmap-free Xen PTE API to the
normal alloc-free on the xenheap, in preparation of switching to domheap
for Xen page tables. Since map and unmap are basically no-ops now, and
other changes are cosmetic to ease future patches, this batch does not
introduce any functional changes.
