[Xen-devel] [RFC][v2][PATCH 0/6] xen: reserve RMRR to avoid conflicting MMIO/RAM

[Tiejun Chen <tiejun.chen@xxxxxxxxx>]

v2:

* Don't use e820map to define RMRR maps directly to avoid any confusion.
* In patch #3 we introduce construct_rmrr_e820_maps() to check if we can
  insert RMRR maps and then we will sort all e820 entries.
* Clean patch #4
* In patch #5 we reuse check_mmio_hole() to check if current mmio range is
  fine to RMRR maps. If not, we just issue error to notify the user since
  mostly mmio should be configured again.

While we work for supporting RMRR mapping for Windows GFX driver in case
shared table,

we realize we should reserve RMRR range to avoid any potential MMIO/RAM
overlap with our discussion so here these preliminary patches are intended
to cover this.
