[Xen-devel] [PATCH] xen: arm: improve VMID allocation.

[Ian Campbell <ian.campbell@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The VMID field is 8 bits. Rather than allowing only up to 256 VMs per host
reboot before things start "acting strange" instead maintain a simple bitmap
of used VMIDs and allocate them statically to guests upon creation.

This limits us to 256 concurrent VMs which is a reasonable improvement.
Eventually we will want a proper scheme to allocate VMIDs on context switch.

The existing code reserves VMID==0, IIRC I thought this was "hypervisor
context". Re-reading the ARM ARM I'm not spotting the bit which made me think
this. However I haven't changed this behaviour here.
