In commit 9d267c049d92 ("xen/arm64: Rework the memory layout"),
we decided to require Xen to be loaded below 5 TiB to simplify
the logic to enable the MMU. The limit was decided based on
how known platform boot plus some slack.

We had a recent report that this is not sufficient on the AVA
platform with a old firmware [1]. But the restriction is not
going to change in Xen 4.18. So document the limit clearly
in docs/misc/arm/booting.txt

I forgot to add a link to
