Jeremy Fitzhardinge 400d34944c xen: add mechanism to extend existing multicalls
Some Xen hypercalls accept an array of operations to work on.  In
general this is because its more efficient for the hypercall to the
work all at once rather than as separate hypercalls (even batched as a
multicall).

This patch adds a mechanism (xen_mc_extend_args()) to allocate more
argument space to the last-issued multicall, in order to extend its
argument list.

The user of this mechanism is xen/mmu.c, which uses it to extend the
args array of mmu_update.  This is particularly valuable when doing
the update for a large mprotect, which goes via
ptep_modify_prot_commit(), but it also manages to batch updates to
pgd/pmds as well.

/*
* Xen hypercall batching.
*
* Xen allows multiple hypercalls to be issued at once, using the
* multicall interface. This allows the cost of trapping into the
* hypervisor to be amortized over several calls.
*
* This file implements a simple interface for multicalls. There's a
* per-cpu buffer of outstanding multicalls. When you want to queue a
* multicall for issuing, you can allocate a multicall slot for the
* call and its arguments, along with storage for space which is
* pointed to by the arguments (for passing pointers to structures,
* etc). When the multicall is actually issued, all the space for the
* commands and allocated memory is freed for reuse.
*
* Multicalls are flushed whenever any of the buffers get full, or
* when explicitly requested. There's no way to get per-multicall
* return results back. It will BUG if any of the multicalls fail.
*
