Mykola Kvach 0656627b89 xen/arm: split DTB/initrd placement helpers
The Arm zImage loader currently computes the kernel load address and
places the DTB/initrd in one local flow.  The hardware-domain memory
allocator needs to reuse those placement rules before it chooses bank 0,
but open-coding the same calculations there would make the fix harder to
audit.

Split the existing logic into small helpers:
- kernel_zimage_place_in_bank() computes the zImage load address for a
  given bank.
- first_bank_can_fit_modules() checks the aggregate first-bank
  footprint.
- find_dtb_initrd_placement() chooses the DTB/initrd location within a
  known bank and kernel range.

Rename place_modules() to place_dtb_initrd() so the code distinguishes
the kernel image from the DTB/initrd placement area.  Also update the
comments linking the hypervisor and toolstack placement paths.

While moving the code, spell the 2MB alignment mask with MB(2) rather
than open-coding (2 << 20).  This is mechanical and keeps the generated
value unchanged.

The caller still panics in the same cases as before, so this is intended
to be behavior preserving.
