x86/xen: allow larger contiguous memory regions in PV guests

Today a PV guest (including dom0) can create 2MB contiguous memory
regions for DMA buffers at max. This has led to problems at least
with the megaraid_sas driver, which wants to allocate a 2.3MB DMA
buffer.

The limiting factor is the frame array used to do the hypercall for
making the memory contiguous, which has 512 entries and is just a
static array in mmu_pv.c.

In order to not waste memory for non-PV guests, put the initial
frame array into .init.data section and dynamically allocate an array
from the .init_after_bootmem hook of PV guests.

In case a contiguous memory area larger than the initially supported
2MB is requested, allocate a larger buffer for the frame list. Note
that such an allocation is tried only after memory management has been
initialized properly, which is tested via a flag being set in the
.init_after_bootmem hook.
