[PATCH v4 20/20] arm/xen: Add support for 64KB page granularity

The hypercall interface is always using 4KB page granularity. This is
requiring to use xen page definition macro when we deal with hypercall.

Note that pfn_to_gfn is working with a Xen pfn (i.e 4KB). We may want to
rename pfn_gfn to make this explicit.

We also allocate a 64KB page for the shared page even though only the
first 4KB is used. I don't think this is really important for now as it
helps to have the pointer 4KB aligned (XENMEM_add_to_physmap is taking a
Xen PFN).

Stefano, I've dropped your reviewed-by given I've updated the doc and do
changes to avoid usage of XEN_PAGE_SHIFT

    Changes in v4:
        - Add Stefano's Reviewed-by

    Changes in v3:
        - s/MFN/GFN/ base on the new naming
        - Use virt_to_gfn to avoid use XEN_PAGE_SHIFT
        - Drop Stefano's reviewed-by
        - Add some docs in arch/arm/asm/xen/page.h

    Changes in v2
        - Add Stefano's reviewed-by
