x86-64: do not pass unmanageable amounts of memory to Dom0

Due to address space restrictions it is not possible to successfully
pass more than about 500Gb to a Linux Dom0 unless its kernel specifies
a non-default phys-to-machine map location via XEN_ELFNOTE_INIT_P2M.

For non-Linux Dom0 kernels I can't say whether the limit could be set
to close to 1Tb, but since passing such huge amounts of memory isn't
very useful anyway (and can be enforced via dom0_mem=3D), the patch
doesn't attempt to guess the kernel type and restricts the memory
amount in all cases.
