No uses are left, hence its setup, teardown, and the field itself can
also go away. stdvga_deinit() is then empty and can be dropped as well.

I have no idea whether in the tool stack some memory calculations would
want adjusting, to account for the 256k less that a HVM domain now
needs.

Reviewed-by: Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@citrix.com>, although I think
there's more to do.

I honestly don't know.  We need dalloc() and friends, simply to figure
out whether it's a significant number or not.

I'm pretty sure you can drop the lock too.  It's taken in accept(), and
dropped in complete(), but there's no state at all to be protected.

stdvga_mem_accept()'s return value is a simple expression of p.


With that dropped, the complete() handler disappears, and it's the only
hvm_io_ops->complete() handler in Xen so the whole field can go.

So I'm pretty sure there are 2 more patches that ought to be part of
this series, which go in a further negative direction.

I think you're right. Previously I was assuming the lock was (also) about
serializing the bufioreq sending, yet ioreq_send_buffered() has its own
serialization. And hence yes, with all other state gone, the lock can go
too, as can ...

... this hook.

Will do.
