[Xen-devel] [PATCH V2] xen/arm: domain_build: allocate lowmem for dom0 as much as possible
From: Peng Fan On AArch64 SoCs, some IPs may only have the capability to access 32bits address space. The physical memory assigned for Dom0 maybe not in 4GB address space, then the IPs will not work properly. So need to allocate memory under 4GB for Dom0. There is no restriction that how much lowmem needs to be allocated for Dom0. Dom0 now use 1:1 mapping, but DomU does not use 1:1 mapping, there is no need to reserve lowmem for DomU, so allocate lowmem as much as possible for Dom0.

Consider the comments of the function: 1. The dom0 kernel should be loaded within the first 128MB of RAM. This is necessary at least for Linux zImage kernels, which are all we support today. 4. For 32-bit dom0 the kernel must be located below 4GB. I think I may need to add back the panic when first bank is failed to be allocated under 4GB.
