Remove xencomm page size limit.

Currently xencomm has page size limit so that a domain with many
memory (e.g. 100GB~) can't be created.

Now that xencomm of xen side accepts struct xencomm_desc whose address
array crosses page boundary. Thus it isn't necessary to allocate
single page not to cross page boundary. We can allocate exact sized
memory. Note that struct xencomm_desc can't cross page boundary and
slab allocator returns sizeof(void*) aligned pointer.
Where sizeof(*desc) > sizeof(void*), e.g. 32 bit environment,
the slab allocator return pointer doesn't gurantee that
struct xencomm_desc doesn't cross page boundary. So we fall back to
page allocator.
