[Xen-devel] [PATCH v3 6/9] xen/arm: page: Describe the layout of flags used to update page tables

[Julien Grall <julien.grall@xxxxxxx>]

Currently, the flags used to update page tables (i.e PAGE_HYPERVISOR_*)
only contains the memory attribute index. Follow-up patches will add
more information in it. So document the current layout.

At the same time introduce PAGE_AI_MASK to get the memory attribute
index easily.
