I just tested your patch with Windows 7 and Linux guest booted from iPXE.
Everything seems to work fine. SeaBIOS reports the following e820:
(XEN) HVM23: e820 map has 6 items:
(XEN) HVM23: 0: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009f400 = 1 RAM
(XEN) HVM23: 1: 000000000009f400 - 00000000000a0000 = 2 RESERVED
(XEN) HVM23: 2: 00000000000f0000 - 0000000000100000 = 2 RESERVED
(XEN) HVM23: 3: 0000000000100000 - 000000003f7ff000 = 1 RAM
(XEN) HVM23: 4: 000000003f7ff000 - 000000003f800000 = 2 RESERVED
(XEN) HVM23: 5: 00000000fc000000 - 0000000100000000 = 2 RESERVED
The ACPI code in Linux reports the right PCI memory window:
[ 0.338966] PCI: Using host bridge windows from ACPI; if necessary,
use "pci=nocrs" and report a bug
[ 0.340000] ACPI: PCI Root Bridge [PCI0] (domain 0000 [bus 00-ff])
[ 0.341029] pci_root PNP0A03:00: host bridge window [io 0x0000-0x0cf7]
[ 0.341965] pci_root PNP0A03:00: host bridge window [io 0x0d00-0xffff]
[ 0.342965] pci_root PNP0A03:00: host bridge window [mem
0x000a0000-0x000bffff]
[ 0.343965] pci_root PNP0A03:00: host bridge window [mem
0xf0000000-0xfbffffff]
Can you ship it ?
