The documentation for the iommu_inclusive_mapping Xen command line option
states:
"Use this to work around firmware issues providing incorrect RMRR entries"
Unfortunately this workaround does not function correctly if the dom0-strict
iommu option is also specified.
The documentation goes on to say:
"Rather than only mapping RAM pages for IOMMU accesses for Dom0, with this
option all pages up to 4GB, not marked as unusable in the E820 table, will
get a mapping established."
This patch modifies the VT-d hardware domain initialization code such that
the workaround will continue to function in dom0-strict mode, by mapping
all pages not marked as unusable *unless* they are RAM pages not assigned
to dom0.
NOTE: This patch modifies the test in drivers/passthrough/vtd/iommu.c from
need_iommu() to is_pv_domain() since dom0-strict implies need_iommu()
so we no longer want to gate invocation of vtd_set_hwdom_mapping()
on that.
It also exports the iommu_dom0_strict flag so that the implementation
of vtd_set_hwdom_mapping() can test it explicitly. It would be
possible to test need_iommu() instead, but it is more illustrative
to test the original flag rather than one of its side-effects.

xen-bugtool =========== The xen-bugtool command line application will collate the Xen dmesg output, details of the hardware configuration of your machine, information about the build of Xen that you are using, plus, if you allow it, various logs. The information collated can either be posted to a Xen Bugzilla bug (this bug must already exist in the system, and you must be a registered user there), or it can be saved as a .tar.bz2 for sending or archiving. The collated logs may contain private information, and if you are at all worried about that, you should not use this tool, or you should explicitly exclude those logs from the archive. xen-bugtool is wholly interactive, so simply run it, and answer the questions.
