xen: tolerate ACPI NVS memory overlapping with Xen allocated memory
In order to minimize required special handling for running as Xen PV dom0, the memory layout is modified to match that of the host. This requires to have only RAM at the locations where Xen allocated memory is living. Unfortunately there seem to be some machines, where ACPI NVS is located at 64 MB, resulting in a conflict with the loaded kernel or the initial page tables built by Xen. Avoid this conflict by swapping the ACPI NVS area in the memory map with unused RAM. This is possible via modification of the dom0 P2M map. Accesses to the ACPI NVS area are done either for saving and restoring it across suspend operations (this will work the same way as before), or by ACPI code when NVS memory is referenced from other ACPI tables. The latter case is handled by a Xen specific indirection of acpi_os_ioremap(). While the E820 map can (and should) be modified right away, the P2M map can be updated only after memory allocation is working, as the P2M map might need to be extended.
