And this breaks 32-bit PVHVM :-(

The reason being that in xen_hvm_init_shared_info we allocate the
structure on the stack, and do not clear the foreign_domid to zero.

This means we can (and do get) for the argument space, something
like this:
	xatp.space == 0xffff0001;
instead of
	xatp.space = 0x1;

This fixes it:
