From a6523748bddd38bcec11431f57502090b6014a96 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eduardo Habkost <ehabkost@redhat.com> Date: Wed, 25 Jun 2008 00:19:16 -0400 Subject: paravirt/x86, 64-bit: move __PAGE_OFFSET to leave a space for hypervisor Set __PAGE_OFFSET to the most negative possible address + 16*PGDIR_SIZE. The gap is to allow a space for a hypervisor to fit. The gap is more or less arbitrary, but it's what Xen needs. When booting native, kernel/head_64.S has a set of compile-time generated pagetables used at boot time. This patch removes their absolutely hard-coded layout, and makes it parameterised on __PAGE_OFFSET (and __START_KERNEL_map).
