[Xen-devel] [PATCH 07/11] x86/setup: Consult the raw E820 for zero sized

When the Xen hypervisor provides us with an E820, it can
contain zero sized RAM regions. Those are entries that have
been trimmed down due to the user utilizing the dom0_mem flag.

What it means is that there is RAM at those regions, and we
should _not_ be considering those regions as 1-1 mapping.

This dom0_mem parameter changes a nice looking E820 like this:

Xen: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009d000 (usable)
Xen: 000000000009d000 - 0000000000100000 (reserved)
Xen: 0000000000100000 - 000000009cf67000 (usable)
Xen: 000000009cf67000 - 000000009d103000 (ACPI NVS)
Xen: 000000009d103000 - 000000009f6bd000 (usable)
Xen: 000000009f6bd000 - 000000009f6bf000 (reserved)
Xen: 000000009f6bf000 - 000000009f714000 (usable)

(wherein we would happily set 9d->100, 9cf67->9d103, and
9f6bd->9f6bf to identity mapping) .. but with a dom0_mem
argument (say dom0_mem=700MB) it looks as so:

Xen: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009d000 (usable)
Xen: 000000000009d000 - 0000000000100000 (reserved)
Xen: 0000000000100000 - 000000002bc00000 (usable)
Xen: 000000009cf67000 - 000000009d103000 (ACPI NVS)
Xen: 000000009f6bd000 - 000000009f6bf000 (reserved)

We would set 9d->100, and 9cf670->9f6bf to identity
mapping. The region from 9d103->9f6bd - which is
System RAM where a guest could be allocated from,
would be considered identity which is incorrect.

[Note: this printout of the E820 is after E820
sanitization, the raw E820 would look like this]:

Xen: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009d000 (usable)
Xen: 000000000009d000 - 0000000000100000 (reserved)
Xen: 0000000000100000 - 000000002bc00000 (usable)
Xen: 000000009cf67000 - 000000009d103000 (ACPI NVS)
Xen: 000000009d103000 - 000000009d103000 (usable)  <===
Xen: 000000009f6bd000 - 000000009f6bf000 (reserved)

[Notice the "usable" zero sized region]

This patch consults the non-sanitized version of the E820
and checks if there are zero-sized RAM regions right before
the non-RAM E820 entry we are currently evaluating.
If so, we utilize the 'ram_end' value to piggyback on the
code introduced by "xen/setup: Pay attention to zero sized
E820_RAM regions" patch. Also we add a printk to help
us determine which region has been set to 1-1 mapping and
add some sanity checking.

We must keep those regions zero-size E820 RAM regions
as is (so missing), otherwise the M2P override code can
malfunction if a guest grant page is present in those regions.

Shifting the "xen_set_identity" to be called earlier (so that
we are using the non-sanitized version of the &e820) does not
work as we need to take into account the E820 after the
initial increase/decrease reservation done and addition of a
new E820 region in 'xen_add_extra_mem').
