xen: arm: Use a direct mapping of RAM on arm64

Enterprise / Virtualization / Xen - Ian Campbell [citrix.com] - 20 August 2013 09:44 UTC

We have plenty of virtual address space so we can avoid needing to map and unmap pages all the time.

A totally arbitrarily chosen 32GB frame table leads to support for 5TB of RAM. I haven't tested with anything near that amount of RAM though. There is plenty of room to expand further when that becomes necessary.
