[Xen-devel] [PATCH v3 16/28] xen/arm32: head: Document create_pages_tables()

[Julien Grall <julien.grall@arm.com>]

Document the behavior and the main registers usage within the function.
Note that r6 is now only used within the function, so it does not need
to be part of the common register.

Signed-off-by: Julien Grall <julien.grall@arm.com>
Acked-by: Stefano Stabellini <sstabellini@kernel.org>
