When running as a Xen PV dom0 the system needs to map ACPI data of the
host using host physical addresses, while those addresses can conflict
with the guest physical addresses of the loaded linux kernel. The same
problem might apply in case a PV guest is configured to use the host
memory map.

This conflict can be solved by mapping the ACPI data to a different
guest physical address, but mapping the data via acpi_os_ioremap()
must still be possible using the host physical address, as this
address might be generated by AML when referencing some of the ACPI
data.

When configured to support running as a Xen PV domain, have an
implementation of acpi_os_ioremap() being aware of the possibility to
need above mentioned translation of a host physical address to the
guest physical address.

This modification requires to fix some #include of asm/acpi.h in x86
code to use linux/acpi.h instead.

This might be slightly easier / more logical to read as

			phys += remap->paddr - remap->maddr;

Also because of "phys" not consistently expressing a physical address
(when you need convert it, the incoming value is a machine address) a
comment may help here. In fact at the first glance (and despite having
seen the code before) I thought the translation was done the wrong way
round, simply because of the name of the variable.

Will add a comment and change the line as you suggest.
