Subject: [PATCH XEN v2 13/15] tools: Implement xc_map_foreign_range(s) in terms of common helper
Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2015 16:47:01 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1436975223-11098-13-git-send-email-ian.campbell@citrix.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1436975173.32371.121.camel@citrix.com>

Both Linux and FreeBSD already implemented these functions using
identical helpers based on xc_map_foreign_pages. Make one copy of
these common helpers and switch all OSes to use them, even those which
previously had a specific lower level implementation of this
functionality.

This is makes two fewer low level interfaces to think about.
