[RFC PATCH v3 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 pass information about the memory map to the
guest. This would allow KVM guests to share the same entry point.
