During the implementation, we decided to pull out arch-independent parts out the x86 and ARM implementation (still needs to be done) and hence reused as much code as possible.

Thinking a bit more about this patch. Why do we need an option to enable altp2m? All the code could be gated by the value of HVM_PARAM_ALTP2M. Regards,

The Xen altp2m subsystem is currently supported only on x86-64 based architectures. By utilizing ARM's virtualization extensions, we intend to implement altp2m support for ARM architectures and thus further extend current Virtual Machine Introspection (VMI) capabilities on ARM. With this commit, Xen is now able to activate altp2m support on ARM by means of the command-line argument 'altp2m' (bool).
