xen: only limit memory map to maximum reservation for domain 0.
d312ae878b6a "xen: use maximum reservation to limit amount of usable RAM" clamped the total amount of RAM to the current maximum reservation. This is correct for dom0 but is not correct for guest domains. In order to boot a guest "pre-ballooned" (e.g. with memory=1G but maxmem=2G) in order to allow for future memory expansion the guest must derive max_pfn from the e820 provided by the toolstack and not the current maximum reservation (which can reflect only the current maximum, not the guest lifetime max). The existing algorithm already behaves this correctly if we do not artificially limit the maximum number of pages for the guest case. For a guest booted with maxmem=512, memory=128 this results in: [ 0.000000] BIOS-provided physical RAM map: [ 0.000000] Xen: 0000000000000000 - 00000000000a0000 (usable) [ 0.000000] Xen: 00000000000a0000 - 0000000000100000 (reserved) -[ 0.000000] Xen: 0000000000100000 - 0000000008100000 (usable) -[ 0.000000] Xen: 0000000008100000 - 0000000020800000 (unusable) +[ 0.000000] Xen: 0000000000100000 - 0000000020800000 (usable) ...
