I am not entirely sure if we need these. You get all of this data by looking
at the Xen E820 and the guest E820 (to see the xen_extra_mem):

(XEN) Xen-e820 RAM map:
(XEN)  0000000000000000 - 000000000009f800 (usable)
(XEN)  000000000009f800 - 00000000000a0000 (reserved)
(XEN)  00000000000f0000 - 0000000000100000 (reserved)
(XEN)  0000000000100000 - 00000000cf5e0000 (usable)

(XEN)  0000000100000000 - 0000000130000000 (usable)

And your patch adds this:
