Subject: xen: use same main loop for counting and remapping pages
From: Juergen Gross <jgross@xxxxxxxx>
commit dd14be92fbf5bc1ef7343f34968440e44e21b46a upstream.
Instead of having two functions for cycling through the E820 map in
order to count to be remapped pages and remap them later, just use one
function with a caller supplied sub-function called for each region to
be processed. This eliminates the possibility of a mismatch between
both loops which showed up in certain configurations.
