This most curious patch allows the fixmap on i386 to be unfixed. The = result is that we can create a dynamically sizable hole at the top of = kernel linear address space. I know at least some virtualization = developers are interested in being able to achieve this to achieve = run-time sizing of a hole in which a hypervisor can live, or at least to = test out the performance

Unlike full virtualization in which the virtual machine provides the same platform interface as running natively on the hardware, paravirtualization requires modification to the guest operating system to work with the platform interface provided by the hypervisor. Xen was designed with performance in mind. Calls to the hypervisor are minimized, batched if necessary, and non-critical codepaths
