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.
