When these pages become pagetable pages and + * are hooked into the pagetable, xen will find that the guest has already + * a RW mapping of them somewhere and fail the operation. + * The reason Xen requires pagetables to be RO is that the hypervisor needs + * to verify that the pagetables are valid before using them. The validation + * operations are called "pinning". + * + * In order to fix the issue we mark all the pages in the entire range + * pgt_buf_start-pgt_buf_top as RO, however when the pagetable allocation + * is completed only the range pgt_buf_start-pgt_buf_end is reserved by + * init_memory_mapping.
