[PATCH for-4.22 v2 0/2] xen/arm: validate hwdom first bank boot placement



From: Mykola Kvach <mykola_kvach@xxxxxxxx>

With LLC coloring enabled, the hardware domain memory is allocated by
allocate_hwdom_memory() instead of relying on the fixed direct-map
layout. Since de99f3263555 ("device-tree: Improve hwdom memory
allocation for DMA"), the allocator prefers lower host regions, but the
first-bank filter still only enforces the old 128MB heuristic.

A low candidate bank can satisfy that heuristic while still being
unsuitable for the Arm kernel/DTB/initrd placement rules. Split the Arm
placement logic into reusable helpers first, then validate the candidate
hardware-domain bank 0 against those helpers before allocating it.

Changes in v2:
- Split the previous single patch into a behavior-preserving Arm
  placement refactoring and a separate hardware-domain first-bank fix.
- Rename find_module_placement() and place_modules() to use DTB/initrd
  terminology.
- Pass ramend to find_dtb_initrd_placement().
- Update the stale tools/libs/guest/xg_dom_arm.c reference.
