Some common code needs to be special cased for Xen PVH mode. This hits
mostly Xen PV mode specific areas.
Split include/grub/i386/pc/int_types.h off from
include/grub/i386/pc/int.h to support including this file later from
xen_pvh code without the grub_bios_interrupt definition.
Move definition of struct grub_e820_mmap_entry from
grub-core/mmap/i386/pc/mmap.c to include/grub/i386/memory.h in order
to make it usable from xen_pvh code.

Initialize the grant tab in a dedicated function. This will enable
using it for PVH guests, too.
Call the new function from grub_machine_init() as this will later
be common between Xen PV and Xen PVH mode.

Xen PVH guests will have the RSDP at an arbitrary address. Support that
by passing the RSDP address via the boot parameters to Linux.

In order to support grub2 in Xen PVH environment some additional Xen
headers are needed as grub2 will be started in PVH mode requiring to
use several HVM hypercalls and structures.
Add the needed headers from Xen 4.10 being the first Xen version with
full (not only experimental) PVH guest support.

Modern pvops linux kernels support a p2m list not covered by the
kernel mapping. This capability is flagged by an elf-note specifying
the virtual address the kernel is expecting the p2m list to be mapped
to.
In case the elf-note is set by the kernel don't place the p2m list
into the kernel mapping, but map it to the given address. This will
allow to support domains with larger memory, as the kernel mapping is
limited to 2GB and a domain with huge memory in the TB range will have
a p2m list larger than this.

Modify the page table construction to allow multiple virtual regions
to be mapped. This is done as preparation for removing the p2m list
from the initial kernel mapping in order to support huge pv domains.
This allows a cleaner approach for mapping the relocator page by
using this capability.
The interface to the assembler level of the relocator has to be changed
in order to be able to process multiple page table areas.

Modern pvops linux kernels support an initrd not covered by the initial

In case the elf-note is set by the kernel don't place the initrd into

support domains with larger memory, as the initial mapping is limited
to 2GB and it is containing the p2m list.

Various features and parameters of a pv-kernel are specified via
elf notes in the kernel image. Those notes are part of the interface
between the Xen hypervisor and the kernel.
Instead of using num,bers in the code when interpreting the elf notes
make use of the header supplied by Xen for that purpose.
