[PATCH 02/27] xen: Allow unprivileged Xen domains to create iomap pages

From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge
Date: Fri Mar 13 2009 - 13:01:38 EST


From: Alex Nixon <alex.nixon@xxxxxxxxxx>

PV DomU domains are allowed to map hardware MFNs for PCI passthrough,
but are not generally allowed to map raw machine pages. In particular,
various pieces of code try to map DMI and ACPI tables in the ISA ROM
range. We disallow _PAGE_IOMAP for those mappings, so that they are
redirected to a set of local zeroed pages we reserve for that purpose.
