Looking a little deeper, it looks like in end_boot_allocator() we are
attempting to dynamically allocate memory for addition arrays in avail[]
and for the heap.  This uses xmalloc() which relies on
alloc_xenheap_pages() to work.  alloc_xenheap_pages() can't function
until end_boot_allocator() completes.  Prior to end_boot_alloctor(), one
needs to use alloc_boot_pages().

Any thoughts on how to proceed here?
