When an initrd is given to xen by U-boot, it will reserve the memory in

In this case, when xen decides to free unused memory, dt_unreserved_regions
will call init_domheap_page with the start and the end of range equals. But
the latter assumes that (start > end), if not Xen will hang because the
number of pages is equals to (unsigned)-1.

init_xenheap_pages starts with "if (pe<=ps) return". I think
init_domheap_pages usefully do the same.

Actually, init_domheap_pages doesn't contain this fix. I will rework this patch to move the check in this function.
