Hi all,

This small series are the only changes required in Xen in order to run a guest
using 64K page granularity on top of an unmodified Xen.

I'd like feedback from maintainers tools to know if it might be worth to
introduce a function xc_pagesize() replicating the behavior of getpagesize()
for Xen.


Can we start with documenting the ABI (?) for communicating between
guests with different page sizes?

We should certainly make it clearer what things are in terms of "Xen ABI
page size" vs "the guest's page size" and other things.

Don't we already say somewhere that the page granularity for the hypercall (though I haven't found it).

I can send a follow-up to clarify the page granularity for each PV protocol.

Regards,
