mainlining shenanigans
b2371587fe
This patch implements arch_xen_unpopulated_init() on Arm where the extended regions (if any) are gathered from DT and inserted into specific Xen resource to be used as unused address space for Xen scratch pages by unpopulated-alloc code. The extended region (safe range) is a region of guest physical address space which is unused and could be safely used to create grant/foreign mappings instead of wasting real RAM pages from the domain memory for establishing these mappings. The extended regions are chosen by the hypervisor at the domain creation time and advertised to it via "reg" property under hypervisor node in the guest device-tree. As region 0 is reserved for grant table space (always present), the indexes for extended regions are 1...N. If arch_xen_unpopulated_init() fails for some reason the default behaviour will be restored (allocate xenballooned pages). This patch also removes XEN_UNPOPULATED_ALLOC dependency on x86.

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.
