xen/mmu: Release just the MFN list, not MFN list and part of pagetables.
We call memblock_reserve for [start of mfn list] -> [PMD aligned end of mfn list] instead of <start of mfn list> -> <page aligned end of mfn list]. This has the disastrous effect that if at bootup the end of mfn_list is not PMD aligned we end up returning to memblock parts of the region past the mfn_list array. And those parts are the PTE tables with the disastrous effect of seeing this at bootup: Write protecting the kernel read-only data: 10240k Freeing unused kernel memory: 1860k freed Freeing unused kernel memory: 200k freed (XEN) mm.c:2429:d0 Bad type (saw 1400000000000002 != exp 7000000000000000) for mfn 116a80 (pfn 14e26) ...
