Hello!
A Mini-OS question for mm.c: I'm trying to understand what
build_pagetable does, and if I'm not mistaken, the purpose is to map
all the physical pages passed to the domain by Xen, right? And later
these are used for the memory allocation.
The patch adds documentation to build_pagetable and makes
print_allocation and print_chunks non-static to allow the compilation
to go through with MM_DEBUG enabled (-Werror is specified).
