[PATCHv3 6/9] Fix domain pickled_id computation for xen-3.4+

[Petr Tesarik <ptesarik@suse.cz>]

Originally, Xen stored the 32-bit address of the domain structure in struct
page_info. On x86-64, the physical address was stored, but since all heap
objects were allocated in the 1:1 mapping which started at 0xffff830000000000,
the end result was the same as if we simply chopped off the high bits (actual
implementation in makedumpfile).

Then, during the development of Xen-3.4, this logic was changed several times
for x86-64:

changeset 39517e863cc8 widened the _domain field to 64 bits and stored the
        virtual address of struct domain instead of physical address
changeset beba88f6f90d removed the pickle/unpickle macros
changeset 0858f961c77a changed _domain back from unsigned long to u32,
        *and* stores the MFN of struct domain instead

All the above changes went into Xen-3.4, and the relation between a domain
address and the contents of the _domain field hasn't changed since then.
That means, when the MADDR space was compressed in Xen-4.0, the type of the
_domain field was changed to _pdx_t, which was specifically invented to
preserve its calculation from the struct domain address.

To sum it up:

1. For all Xen versions before Xen-3.4, the _domain field contains the address
   of struct domain (with high bits chopped for x86-64).
2. For all Xen versions starting with Xen-3.4, the _domain field can be
   computed from struct domain address as:
        (addr - DIRECTMAP_VIRT_START) >> PAGE_SHIFT
