1) Maybe it reasonable use a new HVM parameter for guest RAM base PFN 
instead of new DOMCTL and setup it from libxc through existing 
xc_set_hvm_param hypercall?
2) Since a static GUEST_RAM_BASE is also used in libxc zImage loader 
(xc_dom_armzimageloader.c) should we parse guest's DTB in function 
xc_dom_parse_zimage_kernel or simply provide dom->rambase_pfn to the 
hypervisor?

Best regards,
Evgeny
