Title and description talk about XENMEM_set_memory_map only. As
I think the implementation is right, the former will need updating. Do
you actually need a HVM domain to be able to XENMEM_set_memory_map

Yes. Actually we need to enable two hypercalls here,

#1. XENMEM_set_memory_map --> Set
#2. XENMEM_memory_map --> Get

You say "yes" without saying why, and ...

Instead of constructing e820 in the case of hvmloader, now we'd like to
set up a basic e820 while building hvm, so we need to enable
XENMEM_set_memory_map/XENMEM_memory_map to own this approach in hvm case.

You continue to ignore ...

on itself? If not, it should probably replace XENMEM_memory_map here.

... the "on itself" here. Of course the tool stack needs to be able to
invoke this. But does the guest itself need to?

No, so you're advising I just update the patch head,

xen: enable XENMEM_memory_map in hvm

This patch enables XENMEM_memory_map in hvm. So we can use it to
setup the e820 mappings.

Thanks
Tiejun
