  • Thread-topic: [PATCH] Included reserved memory regions in dom0 iommu mappings

This adds a boolean boot parameter to xen to allow reserved memory

regions to be added to the iommu mappings for dom0. The parameter

is "iommu_include_reserved" and is off by default. A warning is

also traced when incorrect RMRR to system memory map values are

detected. This is being added to address some incorrect BIOS's that

do not report correctly the requied reserved memory ranges in

the RMRRs. When this occurs it currently can cause early boot hangs

and crashes.
