I think you can use max_mapped_pfn and lowest_mapped_pfn here. You may need to
modify a bit the signification of it in the p2m code or introduce a new field.
These two values don't work for the purpose of dirty tracking. What we need are two fields to track _physical_ memory. lowest_mapped_pfn tracks all memory types, which doesn't apply here.

Will new fields to track physical ram space acceptable for you?
