Mirror behaviour of ELF loader in libxc: first look for Xen notes in
PT_NOTE segment, then in SHT_NOTE section and only then fallback to
a section with __xen_guest name. This fixes loading PV kernels that
Xen note have outside of PT_NOTE. While this may be result of a buggy
linker script, loading such kernel directly works fine, so make it work
with GRUB too. Specifically, this applies to binaries built from Unikraft.

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.

Modern pvops linux kernels support an initrd not covered by the initial
mapping. This capability is flagged by an elf-note.
In case the elf-note is set by the kernel don't place the initrd into
the initial mapping. This will allow to load larger initrds and/or
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.
