[RFC PATCH v2 1/2] xen/pvh: Add memory map pointer to hvm_start_info struct

[Maran Wilson]

The start info structure that is defined as part of the x86/HVM direct
boot ABI and used for starting Xen PVH guests would be more versatile if
it also included a way to efficiently pass information about the memory
map to the guest.

That way Xen PVH guests would not be forced to use a hypercall to get the
information and would make it easier for KVM guests to share the PVH
entry point.
