[RFC v2 05/12] xen/arm32: head: Widen the use of the temporary mapping



From: Julien Grall <jgrall@xxxxxxxxxx>

At the moment, the temporary mapping is only used when the virtual
runtime region of Xen is clashing with the physical region.

In follow-up patches, we will rework how secondary CPU bring-up works
and it will be convenient to use the fixmap area for accessing
the root page-table (it is per-cpu).

Rework the code to use temporary mapping when the Xen physical address
is not overlapping with the temporary mapping.

This also has the advantage to simplify the logic to identity map
Xen.

Signed-off-by: Julien Grall <jgrall@xxxxxxxxxx>

Even if this patch is rewriting part of the previous patch, I decided
to keep them separated to help the review.

The "folow-up patches" are still in draft at the moment. I still haven't
find a way to split them nicely and not require too much more work
in the coloring side.

I have provided some medium-term goal in the cover letter.

    Changes in v2:
