[Xen-devel] [PATCH] xen: avoid tracking the region 0xa0000 - 0xbffff

From: Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Xen can only do dirty bit tracking for one memory region, so we should
explicitly avoid trying to track the legacy VGA region between 0xa0000
and 0xbffff, rather than trying and failing.
