Only for those PV guests that actually care about e820_host. Non-
pvops Linux, for example, doesn't, but also has no problem with
the RMRR ranges overlapping with RAM due to the fully separated
M and P address spaces. The only issue here would be the risk of
assigning MMIO overlapping with them.

My position hasn't changed: I view this as correct but incomplete,
and hence not ready for inclusion. With - iirc - Tim being of a
different opinion, if you want to push for a decision without
supplying the missing pieces, see the section "Conflict Resolution"
on http://www.xenproject.org/governance.html. But of course
I'd much prefer to avoid having to fall back to this, and instead
have a complete patch set to commit within reasonable time.
