[Xen-devel] [PATCH v3] xen: don't save/restore the physmap on VM save/restore



Saving/restoring the physmap to/from xenstore was introduced to
QEMU majorly in order to cover up the VRAM region restore issue.
The sequence of restore operations implies that we should know
the effective guest VRAM address *before* we have the VRAM region
restored (which happens later). Unfortunately, in Xen environment
VRAM memory does actually belong to a guest - not QEMU itself -
which means the position of this region is unknown beforehand and
can't be mapped into QEMU address space immediately.

Previously, recreating xenstore keys, holding the physmap, by the
toolstack helped to get this information in place at the right
moment ready to be consumed by QEMU to map the region properly.

The extraneous complexity of having those keys transferred by the
toolstack and unnecessary redundancy prompted us to propose a
solution which doesn't require any extra data in xenstore. The idea
is to defer the VRAM region mapping till the point we actually know
the effective address and able to map it. To that end, we initially
only register the pointer to the framebuffer without actual mapping.
Then, during the memory region restore phase, we perform the mapping
of the known address and update the VRAM region metadata (including
previously registered pointer) accordingly.

v3:
* Modify qemu_ram_ptr_length similarly with qemu_map_ram_ptr
* Add a comment explaining qemu_map_ram_ptr and qemu_ram_ptr_length 
  semantic change for Xen
* Dropped some redundant changes

v2:
* Fix some building and coding style issues
