    xen/arm: Restrict the amount of memory that dom0less domU and dom0 can 
allocate
    
    Currently, both dom0less domUs and dom0 can allocate an "unlimited"
    amount of memory because d->max_pages is set to ~0U.
    
    In particular, the former are meant to be unprivileged. Therefore the
    memory they could allocate should be bounded. As the domain are not yet
    officially aware of Xen (we don't expose advertise it in the DT, yet
    the hypercalls are accessible), they should not need to allocate more
    than the initial amount. So cap set d->max_pages directly the amount of
    memory we are meant to allocate.
    
    Take the opportunity to also restrict the memory for dom0 as the
    domain is direct mapped (e.g. MFN == GFN) and therefore cannot
    allocate outside of the pre-allocated region.
    
    This is CVE-2021-28700 / XSA-383.
