[PATCH 1/7] xen: Improve calculation of beginning of virtual address space

Xen commit 4b28bf6ae90bd83fd1113d8bdc53c3266ffeb328 (x86: re-introduce
map_domain_page() et al) once again altered virtual address space.
Current algorithm calculating its start could not cope with that change.
New version establishes this value on the base of domain_list placement
and is more generic.

Similar patch was applied to crash tool.
