I don't think this can be right: Why would it be valid to change the
type from p2m_ioreq_server to p2m_ram_rw (or p2m_ram_logdirty)
here, without taking into account further information? This code
can run at any time, not just when you want to reset things. So at
the very least there is a check missing whether a suitable ioreq
server still exists (and only if it doesn't you want to do the type
reset).
Sorry, Jan. I think we have discussed this quite long ago.
Indeed, there's information lacked here, and that's why global_logdirty
is disallowed
when there's remaining p2m_ioreq_server entries. :-)

I think this would better be two ASSERT()s, so if one triggers it's
clear what problem it was right away. The two conditions aren't
really related to one another.

I think the distinction between these two is rather arbitrary, and I
also think this is part of the problem above: Distinguishing log-dirty
from ram-rw requires auxiliary data to be consulted. The same
ought to apply to ioreq-server, and then there wouldn't be a need
to have two p2m_*_changeable() flavors.
Well, I think we have also discussed this quite long ago, here is the link.

Of course the subsequent use p2m_is_logdirty_range() may then
need amending.
In the end it looks like you have the inverse problem here compared
to above: You should return ram-rw when the reset was already
initiated. At least that's how I would see the logic to match up with
the log-dirty handling (where the _effective_ rather than the last
stored type is being returned).

I think to match up with EPT you also want to add
ASSERT(p2mt_old != p2m_ioreq_server);
to the 2M and 1G paths.
Is this really necessary? 2M and 1G page does not have p2mt_old,
defining one and peek the p2m type just
to have an ASSERT does not seem quite useful - and will hurt the
performance.
As to ept, since there's already a variable 'i', which may be greater
than 0 - so I added an ASSERT.
