RE: [Xen-devel] [PATCH][VTD] fixing vt-d/ept page table sharing in xen-4.1

["Kay, Allen M" <allen.m.kay@xxxxxxxxx>]

This patch works.  Can you also back port it to xen-4.1-test?  Given this 
feature is pretty mature now, we should turn it on by default to minimize 
future regressions.

Attached patch turns on EPT/VT-d page table sharing by default.  Iommu 
parameter "no-sharept" turns off sharing.

Ah.  This problem is there in the xen-unstable patches (which I just
pushed) as well, isn't it?  Oops.  The correct answer is to use
hap_enabled(d) in the test (see 22924:86000076dcee).  Third time lucky? :)

Passthrough: fix iommu_use_hap_pt() to use hap_enabled()

In line with 22924:86000076dcee, paging_mode_hap(d) shouldn't be 
used in HAP internals that are called during HAP setup.
