    xen/privcmd: add IOCTL_PRIVCMD_MMAP_RESOURCE · 3ad08765
    Paul Durrant authored
    My recent Xen patch series introduces a new HYPERVISOR_memory_op to
    support direct priv-mapping of certain guest resources (such as ioreq
    pages, used by emulators) by a tools domain, rather than having to access
    such resources via the guest P2M.
    
    This patch adds the necessary infrastructure to the privcmd driver and
    Xen MMU code to support direct resource mapping.
    
    NOTE: The adjustment in the MMU code is partially cosmetic. Xen will now
          allow a PV tools domain to map guest pages either by GFN or MFN, thus
          the term 'mfn' has been swapped for 'pfn' in the lower layers of the
          remap code.
