[Xen-devel] [PATCH 3/5] xen: arm: Do not use level 0 section mappings in boot page tables.

[Ian Campbell <ian.campbell@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Level 0 does not support superpage mappings, meaning that systems on where Xen
is loaded above 512GB (I'm not aware of any such systems) the 1:1 mapping on
the boot page tables is invalid.

In order to avoid this issue we need an additional first level page table
mapped by the appropriate L0 slot and containing a 1:1 superpage mapping.
