[2/7] Xen VMM #3: return code for arch_free_page

From: Ian Pratt
Date: Mon Nov 29 2004 - 21:16:20 EST



This patch adds a return value to the existing arch_free_page function
that indicates whether the normal free routine still has work to
do. The only architecture that currently uses arch_free_page is arch
'um'. arch xen needs this for 'foreign pages' - pages that don't
belong to the page allocator but are instead managed by custom
allocators. Such pages are marked using PG_arch_1.
