To facilitate diskless iSCSI boot, the firmware can place a table of configuration details in memory called the iBFT. The presence of this table is not specified, nor is the precise location (and it's not in the E820) so the kernel has to search for a magic marker to find it. When running under Xen, Dom 0 does not have access to the entire host's memory, only certain regions which are identity-mapped which means that the pseudo-physical address in Dom0 == real host physical address. Add the iBFT search bounds as a reserved region which causes it to be identity-mapped in xen_set_identity_and_remap_chunk() which allows Dom0 access to the specific physical memory to correctly search for the iBFT magic marker (and later access the full table). This necessitates moving the call to reserve_ibft_region() somewhat later so that it is called after e820__memory_setup() which is when the Xen identity mapping adjustments are applied. The precise location of the call is not too important so I've put it alongside dmi_setup() which does similar scanning of memory for configuration tables. Finally in the iBFT find code, instead of using isa_bus_to_virt() which doesn't do the right thing under Xen, use early_memremap() like the dmi_setup() code does. The result of these changes is that it is possible to boot a diskless Xen + Dom0 running off an iSCSI disk whereas previously it would fail to find the iBFT and consequently, the iSCSI root disk.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
