One issue with using the e820 map for this is that a Xen Dom0 will also
have this region marked as RAM in the e820 map, but will set up a fixmap
for it, allowing dmi_scan_machine() to map the region.

Would it be easier to just fake up a mapping so that window points to the real dmi area, and mark E820 accordingly?
