On systems with memory maps with ranges that don't end at page

(XEN) 00000000dfdf9c00 - 00000000dfe4bc00 (ACPI NVS)
[...]

xen_add_extra_mem will create a protected range that ends up at
0xdfdf9c00,
but the function used to check if a memory address is inside of a
protected
range works with pfns, which means that an attempt to map 0xdfdf9c00
will be
refused because the check is performed against 0xdfdf9000 instead of
0xdfdf9c00.

In order to fix this, make sure that the ranges that are added to the
xen_extra_mem array are aligned to page boundaries.

AFAICT this patch needs to be backported to 3.19, 4.0, 4.1 and 4.2.

This is not correct. If start wasn't page aligned and size was, you'll
add one additional page to xen_extra_mem.

I'm not understanding this, let's put an example:

start = 0x8c00
size = 0x1000

After the fixup added above this would become:

start = 0x9000
size = 0x1000

So if anything, I'm adding one page less (because 0x8000 was partly
added, and with the fixup it is not added).

You'd add 9c00-9cff which shouldn't be added (in this example you
shouldn't add anything as no complete page is covered by the range).

You need something like:

end = (start + size) & PAGE_MASK;
start = PAGE_ALIGN(start);
size = end - start;
if (!size)
return;
