> Subject: [PATCH v4 5/6] xen/mem_access: wrap memory access when
> VM_EVENT=n
>
> Feature memory access is based on vm event subsystem, and it could be disabled
> in the future. So a few switch-blocks in do_altp2m_op() need
> vm_event_is_enabled() condition check to pass compilation when ALTP2M=y and
> VM_EVENT=n(, hence MEM_ACCESS=n), like
> HVMOP_altp2m_set_mem_access, etc.
> Function p2m_mem_access_check() still needs stub when VM_EVENT=n to pass
> compilation.
> Although local variable "req_ptr" still remains NULL throughout its lifetime, 
> with the
> change of NULL assignment, we will face runtime undefined error only when
> CONFIG_USBAN is on. So we strengthen the condition check via adding
> vm_event_is_enabled() for the special case.

> v1 -> v3:

> - avoid heavy churn by using the inverted condition plus break
