    SubjectRe: [PATCH 04/40] xen: document Xen is using an unused bit for the pagetables

    Some time ago when I saw this patch I asked about it (if there is way
    to actually stop using this bit) and you mentioned it is not the last
    bit available for pagemaps. Perhaps you should alter the comment
    in this description?

    It actually is through ioremap, gntdev (to map another guest memory),
    and on pfns which fall in E820 on the non-RAM and gap sections.
