This is based on the Linux ARMv8 naming scheme (see arch/arm64/mm/proc.S). Each
type will contain "NORMAL" or "DEVICE" to make clear whether each attribute
targets device or normal memory.

    Changes in v2:
        * Move the patch before "xen/arm: page: Clean-up the definition
        of MAIRVAL"

I admit I always hated the "nGnRE" acronym. However, it is on the ARM
ARM too, so if you'd like to introduce it here, I'll accept it. But
please at least expand the acronym in the comment to make it
understandable (same with nGnRnE).

Also, the comment say "nGnRnE" while the definition is MT_DEVICE_nGnRE.

"nGnRE" acronym are not great but convey the meaning of what would be 
the resulting attribute. For instance MT_UNCACHED does not really say if 
it is for device or memory. Lets not even mention MT_BUFFERABLE which is 
in fact non-cacheable memory :).

Actually, the comment is correct but not the naming. It should 
MT_DEVICE_nGnRnE. I will rename it.

Aside that, I think the comment is understandable. nGnRnE is equivalent 
to Strongly ordered. I could expand nGnRnE (non-Gatherable, 
non-Reordering, No Early write acknowledgment) but I feel at this stage 
you can just search the name in the ARM ARM...

This is an honest question, no pun intended: how do they convey the
meaning? Personally, I have to look it up every time on the ARM ARM...

I am not asking to expland the name, only to expand nGnRnE in the
comment on the side. Searching through that pdf is not really a fun
activity.

I agree they are hideous to read, but easy to break down once you got
the idea ...

ARMv8 ARM B2.7.2  Device memory

G -> Gathering (can merge multiple accesses into one transfer)
R -> Reordering
E -> Early Write acknowledgement (other agents than the endpoint
(caches) can acknowledge the transfer).

n means not.

Done. More details in the ARM ARM.

Cheers,
Andre.

They are really easy to find compare to other bits of the specs :). 
Expanding is not going to be very useful without looking at the 
definition. I would prefer to add the section of the ARM ARM on top.
