This patch contains only renaming and comment update. There are no
functional changes:
- Don't mix _start and _stext, they both point to the same address
but the former makes more sense (we are mapping the Xen binary, not
only the text section).
- s/text_mfn/xen_mfn/ and s/text_order/xen_order/ to make clear that
we map the Xen binary.
- Mention about inittext as alternative may patch this section.

Konrad, I added your signed-off by because I squashed your patch [1]
in it. Let me know if there is any issue for that.
