Commitf5775e0b61("x86/xen: discard RAM regions above the maximum reservation") left host memory not assigned to dom0 as available for memory hotplug. Unfortunately this also meant that those regions could be used by others. Specifically, commitfa564ad963("x86/PCI: Enable a 64bit BAR on AMD Family 15h (Models 00-1f, 30-3f, 60-7f)") may try to map those addresses as MMIO. To prevent this mark unallocated host memory as E820_TYPE_UNUSABLE (thus effectively revertingf5775e0b61) and keep track of that region as a hostmem resource that can be used for the hotplug.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
