Subject: [PATCH 2/4] xen: arm: move magic pfns out of guest RAM region
Date: Tue, 8 Apr 2014 15:19:18 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1396966760-7752-2-git-send-email-ian.campbell@citrix.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1396966739.22845.233.camel@kazak.uk.xensource.com>

Because toolstacks (at least libxl) only allow RAM to be specified in 1M
increments these two pages were effectively costing 1M of guest RAM space.

Since these pages don't actually need to live in RAM just move them out.

With this a guest can now use the full 768M of the address space reserved
for RAM. (ok, not that impressive, but it simplifies things later)
