  3. virtual machine. Typically, a region is configured at VM creation time
  4. to be a shared memory area across multiple virtual machines for
  5. communication among them.
  6. For each of these pre-shared memory regions, a range is exposed under
  7. the /reserved-memory node as a child node. Each range sub-node is named
  8. xen-shmem@<address> and has the following properties:
  9. - compatible:
  10. compatible = "xen,shared-memory-v1"
  11. - reg:
  12. the base guest physical address and size of the shared memory region
  13. - xen,offset: (borrower VMs only)
  14. 64 bit integer offset within the owner virtual machine's shared
  15. memory region used for the mapping in the borrower VM.
  16. - xen,id:
