Allocate frame table/mpt table at mfn=0 even when memory isn't assigned at
mfn=0 as work around of transate_domain_pte().
It returns mfn=0 when the machine page isn't present as a work around
for memory mapped I/O where no device is assigned.
Xen might access page_info of mfn=0, so it must be gurantted
that it exists. Otherwise xen panics with tlb miss fault in xen virtual
address area.
Once transate_domain_pte() is fixed correctly, this will be removed.
