xen/setup: Fix for incorrect xen_extra_mem_start.



The earlier attempts (24bdb0b6)
at fixing this problem caused other problems to surface (PV guests
with no PCI passthrough would have SWIOTLB turned on - which meant
64MB of precious contingous DMA32 memory being eaten up per guest).
The problem was: "on xen we add an extra memory region at the end of
the e820, and on this particular machine this extra memory region
would start below 4g and cross over the 4g boundary:

[0xfee01000-0x192655000)

Unfortunately e820_end_of_low_ram_pfn does not expect an
e820 layout like that so it returns 4g, therefore initial_memory_mapping
will map [0 - 0x100000000), that is a memory range that includes some
reserved memory regions."

The memory range was the IOAPIC regions, and with the 1-1 mapping
turned on, it would map them as RAM, not as MMIO regions. This caused
the hypervisor to complain. Fortunately this is experienced only under
the initial domain so we guard for it.
