    xen/mmu: Release just the MFN list, not MFN list and part of pagetables. · 785f6231

    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:
