Call stack for dom0less hwdom case (1:1) memory:
create_domUs
|-construct_domU
   |-construct_hwdom()
     |-allocate_memory_11()

And allocate_memory_11() uses "dom0_mem" as:
min_low_order =
   get_order_from_bytes(min_t(paddr_t, dom0_mem, MB(128)));

In case of dom0less boot the "dom0_mem" is not used and defaulted to 0,
which causes min_low_order to get high value > order and so no allocations
happens from low memory.

Fix it, by using kinfo->unassigned_mem instead of "dom0_mem" has correct
memory size in both cases: regular dom0 boot and dom0less boot.

Fixes: 43afe6f030244 ("xen/common: dom0less: introduce common dom0less-build.c")

I think I introduced this bug with the dom0less hwdom support, and the correct 
fixes is:

Fixes: 52cb53f1816a ("xen/arm: dom0less hwdom construction")

dom0_mem is also mentioned in the comment on line 252.  With that changed as 
well:

Will smth like below be ok?

  * We first allocate the largest allocation we can as low as we
  * can. This then becomes the first bank. This bank must be at least
- * 128MB (or dom0_mem if that is smaller).
+ * 128MB (or memory size requested for domain if that is smaller).
