From: Julien Grall <jgrall@xxxxxxxxxx>

Xen is currently not fully compliant with the Arm Arm because it will
switch the TTBR with the MMU on.

In order to be compliant, we need to disable the MMU before
switching the TTBR. The implication is the page-tables should
contain an identity mapping of the code switching the TTBR.

In most of the case we expect Xen to be loaded in low memory. I am aware
of one platform (i.e AMD Seattle) where the memory start above 512GB.
To give us some slack, consider that Xen may be loaded in the first 2TB
of the physical address space.

The memory layout is reshuffled to keep the first four slots of the zeroeth
level free. Xen will now be loaded at (2TB + 2MB). This requires a slight
tweak of the boot code because XEN_VIRT_START cannot be used as an
immediate.

This reshuffle will make trivial to create a 1:1 mapping when Xen is
loaded below 2TB.

     Changes in v5:
         - We are reserving 4 slots rather than 2.
         - Fix the addresses in the layout comment.
         - Fix the size of the region in the layout comment
         - Add Luca's tested-by (the reviewed-by was not added
           because of the changes requested by Michal
         - Add Michal's reviewed-by

     Changes in v4:
         - Correct the documentation
         - The start address is 2TB, so slot0 is 4 not 2.

     Changes in v2:
         - Reword the commit message
         - Load Xen at 2TB + 2MB
         - Update the documentation to reflect the new layout

I haven't spotted this before but this should be < 4.

Good catch! I am planning to handle it on commit unless there is more to fix in this patch.
