[PATCH] xen: point xen_start_info to a dummy struct for PV on HVMguests

[Stefano Stabellini]

PV on HVM guests don't have a start_info page mapped by Xen, so
xen_start_info is just NULL for them.
That is problem because other parts of the code expect xen_start_info to
point to something valid, for example xen_initial_domain() is defined as
follow:

#define xen_initial_domain()    (xen_domain() && \
                 xen_start_info->flags & SIF_INITDOMAIN)


Allocate a dummy start_info struct and point xen_start_info to it, as we
do on ARM.
This is not going to change things for PV guests because
xen_start_info is set by arch/x86/xen/xen-head.S:startup_xen.
