Is it an option to call arch_setup_middle as one of the first things in
xc_dom_boot_image()?  That would avoid the start_info_pfn trickery ...

The only thing which happens between the current and the suggested place
is that domU pages are mapped and data is copyed to them.  No other
hypercalls.

If that works out we might consider giving some more desciptive names to
the arch hooks, such as "arch_setup_{meminit,bootearly,bootlate}" or so.

cheers,
  Gerd
