Thread-topic: [PATCH] VT-d: remove Xen and tboot range from dom0's VT-d table
This a step forward to fix the security hole introduced by dom0's 1:1
mapping VT-d table: remove the critical code and data from it. The more
flexible solution is to update dom0's VT-d table on demand as what will
be done for other PV domains. However, there could bring a performance
issue even with software optimization. Iotlb flush of some hardware is
time-consuming.
