Replace dom0_ops hypercall with three new hypercalls:
1. platform_op -- used by dom0 kernel to perform actions on the
hardware platform (e.g., MTRR access, microcode update, platform
quirks, ...)
2. domctl -- used by management tools to control a specified domain
3. sysctl -- used by management tools for system-wide actions
are causing me a couple of problems. I'd appreciate some advice on how
to work with this new domctl interface.
The problem is that one of the dom0_ops (iomem_permission) that we were
previously using (to grant a domU access to an iomem page from dom0) is
now not accessible in the kernel to our drivers.
A couple of posts on xen-devel following the check in suggest compiling
with __XEN_TOOLS__ for the few files that need to use domctl, but that
doesn't help a great deal as xen/domctl.h isn't even in the kernel
header files.
Is there some other method for granting access to an iomem page that I
should be using, or is this just not supported anymore?
Thanks
Kieran
