Thanks, that nearly works.  I needed the patch below to get it to 
successfully boot.

For reference, this is what the early reserve map looks like now:

(early) 256MB LOWMEM available.
(early)   low ram: 02634000 - 10000000
(early)   bootmap 02634000 - 02636000
(early)   early res: 0 [0-fff] BIOS data page
(early)   early res: 1 [1000-1fff] EX TRAMPOLINE
(early)   early res: 2 [6000-6fff] TRAMPOLINE
(early)   early res: 3 [25db000-261dfff] XEN
(early)   early res: 4 [1000000-18a8303] TEXT DATA BSS
(early)   early res: 5 [18a9000-25dafff] RAMDISK
(early)   early res: 6 [261e000-2633fff] INIT_PG_TABLE
(early)   early res: 7 [2634000-2635fff] BOOTMAP

Subject: xen: reserve_early Xen-specific memory

Make sure that the start_info and pfn->mfn translation array are reserved.
i386_start_kernel will arrange to reserve the kernel code/data, initrd
and pagetable.

Also, add prototype for i386_start_kernel.
