    xen/page_alloc: Cover memory unreserved after boot in first_valid_mfn
    
    On Arm, some regions (e.g Initramfs, Dom0 Kernel...) are marked as
    reserved until the hardware domain is built and they are copied into its
    memory. Therefore, they will not be added in the boot allocator via
    init_boot_pages.
    
    Instead, init_xenheap_pages will be called once the region are not used
    anymore.
    
    Update first_valid_mfn in both init_heap_pages and init_boot_pages
    (already exist) to cover all the cases.
    
    This is XSA-245.
