xen: implement "extra" memory to reserve space for pages not present at boot



When using the e820 map to get the initial pseudo-physical address space,
look for either Xen-provided memory which doesn't lie within an E820
region, or an E820 RAM region which extends beyond the Xen-provided
memory range.

Count these pages, and add them to a new "extra memory" range.  This range
has an E820 RAM range to describe it - so the kernel will allocate page
structures for it - but it is also marked reserved so that the kernel
will not attempt to use it.

The balloon driver can then add this range as a set of currently
ballooned-out pages, which can be used to extend the domain beyond its
original size.
