In case the mfn_list does not have enough entries to fill
a p2m page we do not want the entries from max_pfn up to
the boundary to be filled with unknown values. Hence
set them to INVALID_P2M_ENTRY.

After changing the p2m mapping to a tree by
commit 58e05027b5
xen: convert p2m to a 3 level tree
and trying to boot a DomU with 615MB of memory, the following crash was
observed in the dump:
kernel direct mapping tables up to 26f00000 @ 1ec4000-1fff000
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)
IP: [<c0107397>] xen_set_pte+0x27/0x60
*pdpt = 0000000000000000 *pde = 0000000000000000
Adding further debug statements showed that when trying to set up
pfn=0x26700 the returned mapping was invalid.
pfn=0x266ff calling set_pte(0xc1fe77f8, 0x6b3003)
pfn=0x26700 calling set_pte(0xc1fe7800, 0x3)
Although the last_pfn obtained from the startup info is 0x26700, which
should in turn not be hit, the additional 8MB which are added as extra
memory normally seem to be ok. This lead to looking into the initial
p2m tree construction, which uses the smaller value and assuming that
there is other code handling the extra memory.
When the p2m tree is set up, the leaves are directly pointed to the
array which the domain builder set up. But if the mapping is not on a
boundary that fits into one p2m page, this will result in the last leaf
being only partially valid. And as the invalid entries are not
initialized in that case, things go badly wrong.
I am trying to fix that by checking whether the current leaf is a
complete map and if not, allocate a completely new page and copy only
the valid pointers there. This may not be the most efficient or elegant
solution, but at least it seems to allow me booting DomUs with memory
assignments all over the range.

When adding a page to m2p_override we change the p2m of the page so we
need to also clear the old pte of the kernel linear mapping because it
doesn't correspond anymore.
When we remove the page from m2p_override we restore the original p2m of
the page and we also restore the old pte of the kernel linear mapping.
Before changing the p2m mappings in m2p_add_override and
m2p_remove_override, check that the page passed as argument is valid and
return an error if it is not.

In m2p_add_override store the original mfn into page->index and then
change the p2m mapping, setting mfns as FOREIGN_FRAME.
In m2p_remove_override restore the original mapping.

Add a simple hashtable based mechanism to override some portions of the
m2p, so that we can find out the pfn corresponding to an mfn of a
granted page. In fact entries corresponding to granted pages in the m2p
hold the original pfn value of the page in the source domain that
granted it.
