There is no need to store the page pointers simply to transcribe the same
information into iov later. Drop the guest_data intermediate array.
These days, linux has a maximum limit of 1024 iovs. Libc under the hood will
subdivide the submission if necessary, which is why our general case of 1026
submissions works.
xenforeignmemory_map() maps the requested guest memory contiguously, and
except for PV pagetable frames, we submit contiguously into the stream. When
safe to do, merge adjacent vectors by extending iov_len, reducing the
likelihood that libc needs to subdivide the submission.

Construct all of the headers together in one block, rather than a field at a
time. Initialise as many of the fields as possible at declaration time.
Start filling in iov[] earlier, to allow for future simplifications.
No practical change.

Construct xc_sr_rhdr directly rather than in two halves.
Use size_t for combined_len, which allows the later size check to spot a few
more cases which might have truncated.

The supported features ELF notes was tested only if the dom0 was
PV. Factor out a function to check ELF notes and reuse it even
for PVH.

On arm32 the xenheap has a maximum size of 1GB. On systems with more than 8GB
(so 1/8 total RAM is greater than 1GB) there is no point in searching for a
region with 1/8 of the total RAM when only 1GB will be used. Therefore limit
the maximum size to 1GB before searching.
