[Xen-devel] [VTD] [PATCH] Ignore USB RMRR for HVM guest
USB controller RMRR (0xed000 - 0xeffff) conflicts with HVM guest bios region. Setting identity mapping for it will cover the guest bios region in p2m table. This causes system crash. As VT-d spec says, USB controller RMRR is used in case of DMA performed by a USB controller under BIOS SMM control for legacy keyboard emulation. Whereas, current guest BIOS doesn''t support emulating stardand Keyboard/mouse, and it also doesn''t support SMM mode. Actually it is no chance to use USB controller RMRR now. This patch ignores the USB controller RMRR for HVM guest.
