[Xen-devel] [PATCH 6/7]Allocate L3 table for whole direct maping range if memory hotplug is supported

["Jiang, Yunhong" <yunhong.jiang@xxxxxxxxx>]

Allocate L3 table for whole direct maping range if memory hotplug is supported

Hot-added memory may need a new L4 entry for 1:1 mapping. This patch setup all 
L4 entry for 1:1 mapping if memory hotadd is needed, so that we don't need sync 
the guest page table in page fault handler.
