[Xen-devel] [PATCH] Remove HVMMEM_mmio_write_dm from the public interface(patch for 4.7.0).

[Yu Zhang <yu.c.zhang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

HVMMEM_mmio_write_dm is removed for new xen interface versions, and
is replaced with type HVMMEM_unused. Attempts to set a page to this
type will return -EINVAL in xen after 4.7.0. And there will be no
pages with type p2m_mmio_write_dm, therefore HVMOP_get_mem_type will
never get the old type - HVMMEM_mmio_write_dm.

New approaches to write protect guest ram pages will be provided in
future patches.
