Subject: [PATCH 3/5] xen: move checks for e820 conflicts further up

Move the checks for e820 memory map conflicts using the
xen_chk_is_e820_usable() helper further up in order to prepare
resolving some of the possible conflicts by doing some e820 map
modifications, which must happen before evaluating the RAM layout.
