[Xen-devel] [PATCH] kexec: add more pages to v1 environment

["Jan Beulich" <JBeulich@xxxxxxxx>]

Destination pages need mappings to be added to the page tables in the
v1 case (where nothing else calls machine_kexec_add_page() for them).

Further, without the tools mapping the low 1Mb (expected by at least
some Linux version), we need to do so in the hypervisor in the v1 case.
