All the contiguous pages used to initialize a 'struct hyp_pool' are considered coalescable, which means that the hyp page allocator will actively try to merge them with their buddies on the hyp_put_page() path. However, using hyp_put_page() on a page that is not part of the inital memory range given to a hyp_pool() is currently unsupported. In order to allow dynamically extending hyp pools at run-time, add a check to __hyp_attach_page() to allow inserting 'external' pages into the free-list of order 0. This will be necessary to allow lazy donation of pages from the host to the hypervisor when allocating guest stage-2 page-table pages at EL2.

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.
