The hardcoded memory map we expose to a guest is currently described
using a series of partially interconnected preprocessor constants,
which is hard to read and follow.

In preparation for moving the UART and RTC to some different MMIO
region, document the current map with some ASCII art, and clean up the
definition of the sections.

No functional change.

Hi Andre,

This is a really good idea, thank you for implementing it!

Some comments below.

Nitpick: I searched the PCI Local Bus Specification revision 3.0 (which kvmtool
currently implements) for the term I/O ports, and found one mention in a schematic
for an add-in card. The I/O region is called in the spec I/O Space.

I don't know what "int." means in the region for the UART and RTC.

The comment says that the art is not to scale, so I don't think there's any need
for the "..." between the corners of the regions. To my eyes, it makes the ASCII
art look crooked.

The next patches add the UART and RTC outside the first 64K, I think the region
should be documented in the patches where the changes are made, not here. Another
alternative would be to move this patch to the end of the series instead of
incrementally changing the memory ASCII art (which I imagine is time consuming).

Otherwise, the numbers look OK.

The patch says it is *documenting* the memory layout, but here it is *changing*
the layout. Other than that, I like the shuffling of definitions so the kvmtool
global defines are closer to the arch values.

Thanks,

Alex

Right, will change that.

It was meant to mean "internal", but this is really nonsensical, so I
will replace it with "plat MMIO".

fixed.

You passed the scrutiny test ;-)
I noticed this last minute, but didn't feel like changing it then.
Have done it now.

I amended the commit message to mention that I change the value of
ARM_MMIO_AREA, but that stays internal to that file and doesn't affect
the other definitions.
In fact I imported this header into a C file and printed all
externally used names, before and after: it didn't show any changes.

Cheers,
Andre
