xen: Switch uses of xc_map_foreign_range into xc_map_foreign_pages
In Xen 4.7 we are refactoring parts libxenctrl into a number of
separate libraries which will provide backward and forward API and ABI
compatiblity.
One such library will be libxenforeignmemory which provides access to
privileged foreign mappings and which will provide an interface
equivalent to xc_map_foreign_{pages,bulk}.
In preparation for this switch all uses of xc_map_foreign_range to
xc_map_foreign_pages. This is trivial because size was always
XC_PAGE_SIZE so the necessary adjustments are trivial:
* Pass &mfn (an array of length 1) instead of mfn. The function
takes a pointer to const, so there is no possibily of mfn changing
due to this change.
* Pass nr_pages=1 instead of size=XC_PAGE_SIZE
There is one wrinkle in xen_console.c:con_initialise() where
con->ring_ref is an int but can in some code paths (when !xendev->dev)
be treated as an mfn. I think this is an existing latent truncation
hazard on platforms where xen_pfn_t is 64-bit and int is 32-bit (e.g.
amd64, both arm* variants). I'm unsure under what circumstances
xendev->dev can be NULL or if anything elsewhere ensures the value
fits into an int. For now I just use a temporary xen_pfn_t to in
effect upcast the pointer from int* to xen_pfn_t*.
In xenfb.c:common_bind we now explicitly launder the mfn into a
xen_pfn_t, so it has the correct type to be passed to
xc_map_foreign_pages and doesn't provoke warnings on 32-bit x86.
