Jan Beulich dc4bd2a2dd xen/x86: streamline set_pte_mfn()
In preparation for restoring xen_set_pte_init()'s original behavior of
avoiding hypercalls, make set_pte_mfn() no longer use the standard
set_pte() code path. That one is more complicated than the alternative
of simply using an available hypercall directly. This way we can avoid
introducing a fair number (2k on my test system) of cases where the
hypervisor would trap-and-emulate page table updates.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
