    xen: arm: Document xenheap_megabytes limitation
    
    In setup_mm(), the value passed as xenheap_megabytes gets
    converted to pages and passed to setup_xenheap_mappings(),
    which in turn passes it to create_32mb_mappings(), which
    contains an ASSERT that the value passed is a multiple of
    32MB. So specifying any value that is not an integer multiple
    of 32 will cause Xen to hit this assert and fail to boot.
