Subject: [PATCH 1/2] xen/p2m: Fix for 32-bit builds the "Reserve 8MB of _brk space for P2M"

The git commit 5bc6f9888db5739abfa0cae279b4b442e4db8049
xen/p2m: Reserve 8MB of _brk space for P2M leafs when populating back.

extended the _brk space to fit 1048576 PFNs. The math is that each
P2M leaf can cover PAGE_SIZE/sizeof(unsigned long) PFNs. In 64-bit
that means 512 PFNs, on 32-bit that is 1024. If on 64-bit machines
we want to cover 4GB of PFNs, that means having enough for space
to fit 1048576 unsigned longs.

On 64-bit:
1048576 * sizeof(unsigned long) (8) bytes = 8MB

On 32-bit:
1048576 * sizeof(unsigned long) (4) bytes = 4MB

We fix that by using the above mentioned math instead of predefined
PMD_SIZE.
