xen: convert p2m to a 3 level tree
Make the p2m structure a 3 level tree which covers the full possible physical space. The p2m structure contains mappings from the domain's pfns to system-wide mfns. The structure has 3 levels and two roots. The first root is for the domain's own use, and is linked with virtual addresses. The second is all mfn references, and is used by Xen on save/restore to allow it to update the p2m mapping for the domain. At boot, the domain builder provides a simple flat p2m array for all the initially present pages. We construct the two levels above that using the early_brk allocator. After early boot time, set_phys_to_machine() will allocate any missing levels using the normal kernel allocator (at GFP_KERNEL, so it must be called in a normal blocking context). Because the early_brk() API requires us to pre-reserve the maximum amount of memory we could allocate, there is still a CONFIG_XEN_MAX_DOMAIN_MEMORY config option, but its only negative side-effect is to increase the kernel's apparent bss size. However, since all unused brk memory is returned to the heap, there's no real downside to making it large. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com>
