The following series adds support for superpage mappings (1G and 2M) in
the p2m for dom0 and domU.

On a 32-bit platform this causes the overhead of kernbench vs. native to
drop from 8-9% to 1.5-3% (it's basically the same for both dom0 and
domU).

I couldn't get my 64-bit platform to boot natively for some reason but
in absolute terms kernbench improved by ~5% (domU) to ~15% (dom0).

A   xen: arm: dump vcpu gic info in arch_dump_vcpu_info
At  tools/libxc: pull min/max_t into xc_private.h
At  tools: arm: allocate large pages to guests.
A   xen: arm: only put_page for p2m operations which require it.
A   xen: arm: handle superpage mappings in p2m_lookup
A m xen: arm: add some helpers for assessing p2m pte
  m xen: arm: use superpages in p2m when pages are suitably aligned
    xen: arm: allocate more than one bank for 1:1 domain 0 if needed

A == ARM ack
t == Tools ACK still needed
m == modifications this round
