Re: [Minios-devel] [PATCH v2 16/18] mini-os: map page allocator's bitmap to virtual kernel area for ballooning



It looks a bit odd to be remapping something that was just allocated,
but I guess it makes portability easier.

Ditto here, better check against hitting VIRT_DEMAND_AREA.

I'd say call it rather mm_alloc_bitmap_remap(). We have C namespace
issues with the stubdom applications, and the alloc_bitmap_ prefix seems
quite generic (even if less that bitmap_), mm_ adds some kernelish
notion.

Ditto, mm_bitmap and mm_bitmap_size.

Otherwise it looks good.
