xen: reinstate previously unused XENMEM_remove_from_physmap hypercall
This patch reinstates the XENMEM_remove_from_physmap hypercall
which was removed in 19041:
ee62aaafff46 because it was not used.
However, is now needed in order to support xenstored stub domains.
The xenstored stub domain is not priviliged like dom0 and so cannot
unilaterally map the xenbus page of other guests into it's address
space. Therefore, before creating a domU the domain builder needs to
seed its grant table with a grant ref allowing the xenstored stub
domain to access the new domU's xenbus page.
At present domU's do not start with their grant table mapped.
Instead it gets mapped when the guest requests a grant table from
the hypervisor.
In order to seed the grant table, the domain builder first needs to
map it into dom0 address space. But the hypercall to do this
requires a gpfn (guest pfn), which is an mfn for PV guest, but a pfn
for HVM guests. Therfore, in order to seed the grant table of an
HVM guest, dom0 needs to *temporarily* map it into the guest's
"physical" address space.
Hence the need to reinstate the XENMEM_remove_from_physmap hypercall.
