ACPI specification contains statements describing memory marked with regular
"ACPI data" type as reclaimable by the guest. Although the guest shouldn't
really do it if it wants kexec or similar functionality to work, there
could still be ambiguities in treating these regions as potentially regular
RAM.
One such example is SeaBIOS which currently reports "ACPI data" regions as
RAM to the guest in its e801 call. Which it might have the right to do as any
user of this is expected to be ACPI unaware. But a QEMU bootloader later seems
to ignore that fact and is instead using e801 to find a place for initrd which
causes the tables to be erased. While arguably QEMU bootloader or SeaBIOS need
to be fixed / improved here, that is just one example of the potential problems
from using a reclaimable memory type.
Flip the type to "ACPI NVS" which doesn't have this ambiguity in it and is
described by the spec as non-reclaimable (so cannot ever be treated like RAM).

Guest kernel does need to know in some cases where the tables are located
to treat these regions properly. One example is kexec process where
the first kernel needs to pass ACPI region locations to the second
kernel which is now a requirement in Linux after 02a3e3cdb7f12 ("x86/boot:
Parse SRAT table and count immovable memory regions") in order for kexec
transition to actually work.
That commit introduced accesses to XSDT and SRAT while the second kernel
is still using kexec transition tables. The transition tables do not have
e820 "reserved" regions mapped where those tables are located currently
in a Xen guest. Instead "ACPI data" regions are mapped with the transition
tables that was introduced by the following commit 6bbeb276b7 ("x86/kexec:
Add the EFI system tables and ACPI tables to the ident map").
Reserve 1MB (out of 16MB currently available) right after ACPI info page for
ACPI tables exclusively but populate this region on demand and only indicate
populated memory as "ACPI data" since according to ACPI spec that memory is
reclaimable by the guest if necessary. That is close to how we treat
the same ACPI data in PVH guests. 1MB should be enough for now but could be
later extended if required.

If the MMIO hole is large and hvmloader needs to relocate memory to
immediately above the 4 GiB boundary, the e820 presented to the guest
will not have a RAM region above 4 GiB.
e.g., a guest with 3 GiB of memory and a 2 GiB MMIO hole will only see
2 GiB.
The required e820 memory region above 4 GiB needs to be added, and not
just filled in.

The only remaining mentions of these addresses are in COPYING files which I

Some of the changed files are imports from elsewhere, however
filtering them out is tricky, I think it is tolerable to have these

since it's only 1-2 lines and obvious what is going on.

Now we get this map layout by call XENMEM_memory_map then
save them into one global variable memory_map[]. It should
include lowmem range, rdm range and highmem range. Note
rdm range and highmem range may not exist in some cases.
And here we need to check if any reserved memory conflicts with
[RESERVED_MEMORY_DYNAMIC_START, RESERVED_MEMORY_DYNAMIC_END).
This range is used to allocate memory in hvmloder level, and
we would lead hvmloader failed in case of conflict since its
another rare possibility in real world.

The Intel GPU uses a two pages NVS region called OpRegion.
In order to get full support for the driver in the guest
we need to map this region.
This patch reserves 2 pages on the top of the memory in the
reserved area and mark this region as NVS in the e820. Then
we write the address to the config space (offset 0xfc) so the
device model can map the OpRegion at this address in the guest.

there is no reason that acp_info must live below 1MB, and moving it

SeaBIOS will reserve memory in the e820 as necessary, including BIOS
data structures such as the EBDA, any tables it creates or copies into
pleace etc. Therefore arrange that the memory map provided by
hvmloader to SeaBIOS reserves only things which HVMloader has created.
Since ROMBIOS is more tightly coupled with hvmloader we retain the
ability to reserve BIOS regions in the hvmloader produced e820 and use
that from the ROMBIOS backend.
The code for this could probably have been simpler but the existing
code avoids overlapping e820 areas and so the new code does the same
(many guest OSes sanitize the e820 map to handle this, but I wouldn't
trust that all do, so I didn't take the risk)
For ROMBIOS the resulting e820 map as seen by the guest is the same
except the reserved regions at 0x9e000-0x9fc00,0x9fc00-0xa0000 are
merged into a single region 0x9e000-0xa0000 (Linux guests sanitize the
e820 to look like this anyway).
For SeaBIOS the result is that the lowmem reserved region is from
0x9f000-0xa0000 rather than 0x9e000-0xa0000 which correctly reflects
SeaBIOS's actual usage.

Pass the table address as a paramter to the build function and cause
it to return the number of entries. Pass both base and offset as
parameters to the dump function.
This adds a duplicated e820.h header to ROMBIOS. Since the e820 data
structure is well defined by existing BIOS implementations I think
this is OK and simplifies the cross talk between hvmloader and
ROMBIOS.
Reduces the cross talk between ROMBIOS and hvmloader.
