a797991f9335bcfc295942b684f9bf613a1: "Xen requires that all pages containing pagetable entries to be mapped read-only. If pages used for the initial pagetable are already mapped then we can change the mapping to RO. However, if they are initially unmapped, we need to make sure that when they are later mapped, they are also mapped RO. ..SNIP.. the pagetable setup code early_ioremaps the pages to write their entries, so we must make sure that mappings created in the early_ioremap fixmap area are mapped RW. (Those mappings are removed before the pages are presented to Xen as pagetable pages.)" We accomplish all this in mask_rw_pte by mapping RO all the pages mapped using early_ioremap apart from the last one that has been allocated because it is not a page table page yet (it has not been hooked into the page tables yet).
