[RFC v2 04/12] xen/arm32: head: Remove restriction where to load Xen



From: Julien Grall <jgrall@xxxxxxxxxx>

At the moment, bootloaders can load Xen anywhere in memory but the
region 2MB - 4MB. While I am not aware of any issue, we have no way
to tell the bootloader to avoid that region.

In addition to that, in the future, Xen may grow over 2MB if we
enable feature like UBSAN or GCOV. To avoid widening the restriction
on the load address, it would be better to get rid of it.

When the identity mapping is clashing with the Xen runtime mapping,
we need an extra indirection to be able to replace the identity
mapping with the Xen runtime mapping.

Reserve a new memory region that will be used to temporarily map Xen.
For convenience, the new area is re-using the same first slot as the
domheap which is used for per-cpu temporary mapping after a CPU has
booted.

Furthermore, directly map boot_second (which cover Xen and more)
to the temporary area. This will avoid to allocate an extra page-table
for the second-level and will helpful for follow-up patches (we will
want to use the fixmap whilst in the temporary mapping).

Lastly, some part of the code now needs to know whether the temporary
mapping was created. So reserve r12 to store this information.
