Subject: [PATCH v2 0/7] Early Boot Allocation on Power

Hello all,

This series enables the Xen boot time allocator on Power by parsing
the available memory regions from the firmware-provided device tree.

As suggested during review of v1, this is now accomplished by moving
Arm's bootfdt.c into xen/common, along with a few modifications to
adapt it to Power -- namely to tolerate a device tree with no memory
reserve map entries and to tolerate an FDT that overlaps with the a
reserved memory region.

Additionally, the final patch of the series updates the radix mmu
code to use the newly-enabled boot allocator for the Partition and
Process tables, instead of statically allocating them like was
previously done. Among other things, switching to run-time allocation
allows us to allocate a full-sized Process Table instead of the
minimal one that was previously used to keep the Xen binary size small.

Thanks,
Shawn
