xen: set IO permission early (before early_cpu_init())
This patch is based off "xen dom0: Set up basic IO permissions for dom0." by Juan Quintela <quintela@redhat.com>. On AMD machines when we boot the kernel as Domain 0 we get this nasty: mapping kernel into physical memory Xen: setup ISA identity maps about to get started...

The issue is that we don't set IO permissions for the Linux kernel early enough. The call sequence used to be: xen_start_kernel() x86_init.oem.arch_setup = xen_setup_arch; setup_arch: - early_cpu_init - early_init_amd - read_pci_config - x86_init.oem.arch_setup [ xen_arch_setup ] - set IO permissions. We need to set the IO permissions earlier on, which this patch does. Acked-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>
