    Subject[PATCH 0/2] xen: Switch to virtual mapped linear p2m list
    Date
    Paravirtualized kernels running on Xen use a three level tree for
    translation of guest specific physical addresses to machine global
    addresses. This p2m tree is used for construction of page table
    entries, so the p2m tree walk is performance critical.

    By using a linear virtual mapped p2m list accesses to p2m elements
    can be sped up while even simplifying code. To achieve this goal
    some p2m related initializations have to be performed later in the
    boot process, as the final p2m list can be set up only after basic
    memory management functions are available.

    The first patch in this series modifies xen specific kernel
    initialization to be able to switch to the linear mapped p2m list
    introduced in the sewcond patch.
