[Xen-devel] [PATCH v5 0/7] Add alternative API for XEN PTEs

[Hongyan Xia <hongyxia@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.

Changed since v4:
- handle INVALID_MFN in new APIs
- drop some goto labels since there could be better options
- const qualify introduced variables
- defer some changes to future patches due to ongoing discussions on
  map_pages_to_xen

Changed since v3:
- change my email address in all patches
- address many style issues in v3
- rebase

Changed since v2:
- split into a smaller series
- drop the clear_page optimisation as Wei suggests
- rebase

Changed since v1:
- squash some commits
- merge bug fixes into this first batch
- rebase against latest master

  x86: move some xen mm function declarations
  x86: introduce a new set of APIs to manage Xen page tables
  x86/mm: introduce l{1,2}t local variables to map_pages_to_xen
  x86/mm: introduce l{1,2}t local variables to modify_xen_mappings
