drivers/char: allow driving the rest of XHCI by a domain while Xen uses DbC
That's possible, because the capability was designed specifically to
allow separate driver handle it, in parallel to unmodified xhci driver
(separate set of registers, pretending the port is "disconnected" for
the main xhci driver etc). It works with Linux dom0, although requires
an awful hack - re-enabling bus mastering behind dom0's backs.
Linux driver does similar thing - see
drivers/usb/early/xhci-dbc.c:xdbc_handle_events().
When controller sharing is enabled in kconfig (option marked as
experimental), dom0 is allowed to use the controller even if Xen uses it
for debug console. Additionally, option `dbgp=xhci,share=` is available
to either prevent even dom0 from using it (`no` value), or allow any
domain using it (`any` value).
In any case, to avoid Linux messing with the DbC, mark this MMIO area as
read-only. This might cause issues for Linux's driver (if it tries to
write something on the same page - like anoter xcap), but makes Xen's
use safe. In practice, as of Linux 5.18, it seems to work without
issues.
