[v3,3/9] xen/arm: mm: Rename and clarify AP[1] in the stage-1 page table

Commit Message

Julien Grall Oct. 2, 2017, 5:31 p.m. UTC

The description of AP[1] in Xen is based on testing rather than the ARM
ARM.

Per the ARM ARM, on EL2 stage-1 page table, AP[1] is RES1 as the
translation regime applies to only one exception level (see D4.4.4 and
G4.6.1 in ARM DDI 0487B.a).

Update the comment and also rename the field to match the description in
the ARM ARM.
