mainlining shenanigans
7c350ea39e
We currently maintain two separate memory pools for the host stage-2, one for pages used in the page-table when mapping memory regions, and the other to map MMIO regions. The former is large enough to map all of memory with page granularity and the latter can cover an arbitrary portion of IPA space, but allows to 'recycle' pages. However, this split makes accounting difficult to manage as pages at intermediate levels of the page-table may be used to map both memory and MMIO regions. Simplify the scheme by merging both pools into one. This means we can now hit the -ENOMEM case in the memory abort path, but we're still guaranteed forward-progress in the worst case by unmapping MMIO regions. On the plus side this also means we can usually map a lot more MMIO space at once if memory ranges happen to be mapped with block mappings.

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.
