In a follow-up patch, the base address for the common mappings will
vary between arm32 and arm64. To avoid any duplication, define
every mapping in the common region from the previous one.
Maybe the following title would be better suited if you only want to touch the 
common mappings?
"xen/arm: Clean-up the common memory layout"

Ok.



Take the opportunity to add missing *_SIZE for FIXMAP_VIRT_* and
XEN_VIRT_*.

Take the opportunity to add missing *_SIZE for some mappings.
I think this sentence can be removed as the previous one already covers it.

Yes. I will remove it.


Apart from that, wouldn't it be useful to do the cleanup for the arm32 macros
as you are here (FRAMETABLE, VMAP, {XEN/DOM}HEAP) ?

Can you clarify? I looked at the macros and they look clean to me.

As you choose to make use of MB() macro, I think it would be beneficial
just from the consistency perspective to modify other places that use directly 
hex values.
We already do that for arm64 specific mappings, you are modifying the common 
ones
to adhere to this way, so as a natural consequence I would see the arm32 ones 
to be modified as well.

You have a point. I will look to do it in this patch.

Cheers,
