[Xen-devel] PATCH (and RFC): new dom0 hypercall: DOM0_DOMAIN_SETUP

[Tristan Gingold <Tristan.Gingold@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

for IA64, I'd like to create a new dom0 hypercall: DOM0_DOMAIN_SETUP.

The purpose of this hypercall is to do some setup in a new domain: it builds
the firmware (~ BIOS), and creates the mm structures.

This can't be done a domain creation because memory (and max_mem) is required.
This can't be completly done in user space and since the code has to be executed
for dom0 it is already present in the hypervisor.

Previously this was done during vcpusetcontext.  But this was almost a kuldge
and became difficult to manage when I worked on save & restore feature.

I don't know wether or not other architectures might be interested in this 
hypercall.
In the later case, we may define an arch-dependant content.

Tristan.
