From: Oleksandr Tyshchenko <oleksandr_tyshchenko@xxxxxxxx> Xen on Arm has gained new support recently to calculate and report extended regions (unused address space) safe to use for external mappings. These regions are reported via "reg" property under "hypervisor" node in the guest device-tree. As region 0 is reserved for grant table space (always present), the indexes for extended regions are 1...N. No device-tree bindings update is needed (except clarifying the text) as guest infers the presence of extended regions from the number of regions in "reg" property.
