Let's provide file type info to the I/O layer. This way verifiers
framework and its users will be able to differentiate files and verify
only required ones.
This is preparatory patch.

In case of GRUB we put remapper after domain pages and not at 0x0.
In this case we use max_addr to put remapper. Unfortunately we increment
max_addr as well in this case resulting in virt mapping mapping page
at old max_addr and trying to boot using new max_addr.
Closes 46014.
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
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.

Do the allocation of page tables in a separate function. This will
allow to do the allocation at different times of the boot preparations
depending on the features the kernel is supporting.

Do the p2m list allocation of the to be loaded kernel in a separate
function. This will allow doing the p2m list allocation at different
times of the boot preparations depending on the features the kernel
is supporting.
While at this remove superfluous setting of first_p2m_pfn and
nr_p2m_frames as those are needed only in case of the p2m list not
being mapped by the initial kernel mapping.

The loader for xen paravirtualized environment isn't callable multiple

Call grub_relocator_unload() as other modules do it before allocating
a new relocator or when unloading the module.
