"...supplied by the hypervisor" ?

If the p2m map is detected to be in a region which is going to be
remapped, delay the remapping of that area. Not doing so can either
crash the system very early, or lead to clobbered data as the target
memory area of the remap operation will no longer be reserved.

Would it be better to relocate the p2m before remapping memory? If not, explain why in the commit message.
