If you are going to put a comment like that in the code, could you
please at least add some useful details, rather than a generic
"somehow"? It doesn't seem very helpful to me or to any other hackers
looking at the code.

The issue is even described as a comment in the code at the beginning of
arch/x86/xen/mmu.c:xen_setup_kernel_pagetable:

/* max_pfn_mapped is the last pfn mapped in the initial memory
* mappings. Considering that on Xen after the kernel mappings we
* have the mappings of some pages that don't exist in pfn space, we
* set max_pfn_mapped to the last real pfn mapped. */

Now if max_pfn_mapped is supposed to represent the last pfn mapped in
the initial memory mapping, then I think that the way Xen uses
max_pfn_mapped is actually correct.


The question is: has max_pfn_mapped actually changed meaning?
Because if it hasn't I don't see why you need this change.
