[Xen-devel] [PATCH for-4.12 v2 4/7] xen/arm: domain_build: Don't switch to the guest P2M when copying data



Until recently, kernel/initrd/dtb were loaded using guest VA and
therefore requiring to restore temporarily the P2M. This was reworked
in a series of commits (up to 9292086 "xen/arm: domain_build: Use
copy_to_guest_phys_flush_dcache in dtb_load") to use a guest PA.

This will also help a follow-up patch which will require
p2m_{save,restore}_state to work in pair to workaround an erratum.
