Hi,

Hi,

@Andre, IIRC you originally added the support for sunxi in Xen. Could
you have a look at this patch?

Looks alright, and indeed the H6 needs it. Even though Allwinner totally 
re-arranged the memory map, they missed the opportunity to put each device at 
least in their own 4K page.

Thank you for the review!


If you can wait till this evening, I can even test it.

I can wait until tomorrow before comitting the patch.


It's actually a shame that we need this enumeration, when all we are after is an answer to the question: Does a device used by Xen share a 4K page with a device handed off to Dom0? It sounds
like a nice rainy afternoon exercise to scan the DT to find those devices automatically and mask them (on the A64 for instance UART4 is on a different page).

I agree and I think we discussed about it before :). I would welcome such improvement in Xen, this would actually allow us to drop sunxi.c completely.

Cheers,
