[Xen-devel] [PATCH] x86/mm: correctly initialize M2P entries on boot

[Igor Druzhinin <igor.druzhinin@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Since guest resource management work it's now possible to have a page
assigned to a domain without a valid M2P entry. Some pathes in the code
rely on the fact a GFN returned from mfn_to_gfn() for such a page
is not valid as well, i.e. see arch_iommu_populate_page_table().

For systems without 512GB contiguous RAM M2P entries were already
correctly initialized on boot with INVALID_M2P_ENTRY (~0UL) but
on systems where M2P could be covered by a single 1GB page directory
0x77 poison was used instead. That eventually resulted in a crash
during IOMMU construction on systems without shared PTs enabled.

While here fixup compat M2P entries as well.
