This batch adds an alternative alloc-map-unmap-free Xen PTE AP
map_pages_to_xen and modify_xen_mappings are performing almost exactly
the same operations when shattering an l2 PTE, the only difference
being whether we want to flush.

The existing code assumes that the first mfn passed to the boot
allocator is mapped, which creates problems when, e.g., we do not have
a direct map, and may create other bootstrapping problems in the
future. Make it static. The size is kept the same as before (1 page).

We also need to force map_domain_page to use direct map when switching

The real reason is that I will be adding some new functions which

Changed in v2:
- unmap as early as possible instead of unmapping all at the end.
- use lYe_from_lXe() macros and lift them from a later patch to this
patch.
- const qualify pointers in new macros.
