Commit 054954eb051f35e74b75a566a96fe756015352c8 ("xen: switch to linear
virtual mapped sparse p2m list") introduced a regression regarding to
memory hotplug for a pv-domain: as the virtual space for the p2m list
is allocated for the to be expected memory size of the domain only,
hotplugged memory above that size will not be usable by the domain.

Correct this by using a configurable size for the p2m list in case of
memory hotplug enabled (default supported memory size is 512 GB for
64 bit domains and 4 GB for 32 bit domains).

In that case step 3 should be omitted.

Because you've not supplied a summary for this option, it is not user
configurable. Is this intentional?

No. Sorry, I just tested it via editing .config, not using the menues.
Can you add it when committing (e.g. "Upper limit in GBs a pv domain
can be expanded to using memory hotplug")?

Or should I send another patch?
