IOW: why do we need to create those mappings just to have them destroyed here. Thanks, Roger.

Or else use unmap_domain_page(). v is going out of scope just afterwards, and UNMAP_DOMAIN_PAGE() is intended to be use when that's not the case. Jan

A helper is introduced for this. Hmm. On one hand this may reduce memory consumption some, when large ranges of MFNs aren't allocated as Xen heap pages. Otoh this increases memory needs when Xen heap pages actually need mapping. I wonder whether the (presumably less intrusive) change of merely altering permissions from PAGE_HYPERVISOR to _PAGE_NONE|MAP_SMALL_PAGES wouldn't be better. > Also, after the direct map is actually gone, we need to stop updating > the direct map in update_xen_mappings(). What is this about? You only alter setup.c here. Jan
