> Subject: [PATCH V4 04/24] xen/ioreq: Make x86's IOREQ feature common
> 
> From: Oleksandr Tyshchenko <[email protected]>
> 
> As a lot of x86 code can be re-used on Arm later on, this patch
> moves previously prepared IOREQ support to the common code
> (the code movement is verbatim copy).
> 
> The "legacy" mechanism of mapping magic pages for the IOREQ servers
> remains x86 specific and not exposed to the common code.
> 
> The common IOREQ feature is supposed to be built with IOREQ_SERVER
> option enabled, which is selected for x86's config HVM for now.
> 
> In order to avoid having a gigantic patch here, the subsequent
> patches will update remaining bits in the common code step by step:
> - Make IOREQ related structs/materials common
> - Drop the "hvm" prefixes and infixes
> - Remove layering violation by moving corresponding fields
>   out of *arch.hvm* or abstracting away accesses to them
> 
> Also include <xen/domain_page.h> which will be needed on Arm
> to avoid touch the common code again when introducing Arm specific bits.
> 
> This support is going to be used on Arm to be able run device
> emulator outside of Xen hypervisor.
