This doesn't help since 32-bit guests will still truncate. A new
hypercall op that returns the result in a uint64_t parameter is required.
There is another reason why max_mfn isn't suitable -- IOMMU usage so I
think we should assume a 64-bit DMA mask is required (this is actually
the change I put into XenServer's kernel).
