Why is this order important?

Certainly not to "struct xc_dom_loader", that one is for binary formats
such as ELF and thus architecture-independant.
Maybe we could put that into "struct xc_dom_arch". I've intentionally
tried to keep the code which does hypercalls separately though.

Only the xc_dom_boot_*() functions are supposed to invoke hypercalls.
Thus the firmware setup can happen either at the end of
xc_dom_boot_mem_init or at the start of xc_dom_boot_image.
