Subject: Re: [PATCH][1/4] Enable 1GB for Xen HVM host page

What's the performance gain from 1GB mappings in HAP tables like? What about
just the (possible) extra 1GB mapping from this particular patch? Is it
worth making guest-visible efforts like this (admittedly small) one? After
all, the probably most frequently accessed 1GB starting at address 0x0
cannot be done with a 1GB mapping and we live with it.
