    x86/boot: Allocate one extra module slot for Xen image placement
    
    Commit 9589927 (x86/mb2: avoid Xen image when looking for
    module/crashkernel position) fixed relocation issues for
    Multiboot2 protocol. Unfortunately it missed to allocate
    module slot for Xen image placement in early boot path.
    So, let's fix it right now.
