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.

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.

The loader for xen paravirtualized environment isn't callable multiple
times as it won't free any memory in case of failure.
Call grub_relocator_unload() as other modules do it before allocating
a new relocator or when unloading the module.

Currently multiboot2 protocol loads image exactly at address specified in
ELF or multiboot2 header. This solution works quite well on legacy BIOS
platforms. It is possible because memory regions are placed at predictable
addresses (though I was not able to find any spec which says that it is
strong requirement, so, it looks that it is just a goodwill of hardware
designers). However, EFI platforms are more volatile. Even if required
memory regions live at specific addresses then they are sometimes simply
not free (e.g. used by boot/runtime services on Dell PowerEdge R820 and
OVMF). This means that you are not able to just set up final image
destination on build time. You have to provide method to relocate image
contents to real load address which is usually different than load address
specified in ELF and multiboot2 headers.
This patch provides all needed machinery to do self relocation in image code.
First of all GRUB2 reads min_addr (min. load addr), max_addr (max. load addr),
align (required image alignment), preference (it says which memory regions are
preferred by image, e.g. none, low, high) from multiboot_header_tag_relocatable
header tag contained in binary (at this stage load addresses from multiboot2
and/or ELF headers are ignored). Later loader tries to fulfill request (not only
that one) and if it succeeds then it informs image about real load address via
multiboot_tag_load_base_addr tag. At this stage GRUB2 role is finished. Starting
from now executable must cope with relocations itself using whole static and
dynamic knowledge provided by boot loader.
This patch does not provide functionality which could do relocations using
ELF relocation data. However, I was asked by Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk and Vladimir
'phcoder' Serbinenko to investigate that thing. It looks that relevant machinery
could be added to existing code (including this patch) without huge effort.
Additionally, ELF relocation could live in parallel with self relocation provided
by this patch. However, during research I realized that first of all we should
establish the details how ELF relocatable image should look like and how it should
be build. At least to build proper test/example files.
So, this patch just provides support for self relocatable images. If ELF file
with relocs is loaded then GRUB2 complains loudly and ignores it. Support for
such files will be added later.
This patch was tested with Xen image which uses that functionality. However, this Xen
feature is still under development and new patchset will be released in about 2-3 weeks.

struct ... foo = { 0, } is valid initializer, but older GCC emits
warning which is fatal error due to -Werror=missing-field-initializer.
So simply use full initializer to avoid these errors. This was fixed
probably in GCC 4.7.
See https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=36750
Currently, if "linux" fails, the "goto fail;" in grub_cmd_initrd sends us
into grub_initrd_close() without grub_initrd_init() being called, and thus
it never clears initrd_ctx->components. grub_initrd_close() then frees that
address, which is stale data from the stack. If the stack happens to have a
stale *address* there that matches a recent allocation, then you'll get a
double free later.
So initialize the memory up front.
