Good point.

x86,xen: introduce x86_init.mapping.pagetable_reserve
Introduce a new x86_init hook called pagetable_reserve that during the
initial memory mapping is used to reserve a range of memory addresses for
kernel pagetable usage.
On native it just calls memblock_x86_reserve_range while on xen it also
takes care of setting the spare memory previously allocated
for kernel pagetable pages from RO to RW, so that it can be used for
other purposes.
