All the pool sizes in the hypervisor are "unsigned long" but when
they get passed to hyp_early_alloc_contig() or hyp_pool_init() they get
truncated to 32-bits.

That is not a big problem at the moment as to overflow this we need
4G bytes of carveout (2 TB of host or guest system memory).

However when new users are added (as IOMMU) it is hard to reason
about the carveout size anymore.

For example in the SMMUv3 to avoid this overflow, I add a cap
for the pools size to UINT_MAX to work around this:
