xen/e820: Guard against E820_RAM not having page-aligned size or start.
Under Dell Inspiron 1525, and Intel SandyBridge SDP's the
BIOS e820 RAM is not page-aligned:
[ 0.000000] Xen: 0000000000100000 - 00000000df66d800 (usable)
We were not handling that and ended up setting up a pagetable
that included up to df66e000 with the disastrous effect that when
memset(NODE_DATA(nodeid), 0, sizeof(pg_data_t));
tried to clear the page it would crash at the 2K mark.
Initially reported by Michael Young @
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2011-01/msg00108.html
The fix is to page-align the size and also take into consideration
the start of the E820 (in case that is not page-aligned either). This
fixes the bootup failure on those affected machines.
This patch is a rework of the Micheal A Young initial patch and
considers the case if the start is not page-aligned.
