[PATCH v2 09/20] xen/biomerge: Don't allow biovec to be merge when Linux is not using 4KB page

From: Julien Grall
Date: Thu Jul 09 2015 - 16:49:49 EST


When Linux is using 64K page granularity, every page will be slipt in
multiple non-contiguous 4K MFN (page granularity of Xen).

I'm not sure how to handle efficiently the check to know whether we can
merge 2 biovec with a such case. So for now, always says that biovec are
not mergeable.

Changes in v2:
- Remove the workaround and check if the Linux page granularity
is the same as Xen or not
