 On Xen, there is variable-sized Xen data after the kernel's text+data+bss
 (this include the physical->machine table).
 (vaddr_t)(KERNBASE + NKL2_KIMG_ENTRIES * NBPD_L2) is after text+data+bss but,
 on a domU with lots of RAM (more than 4GB) (so large
 xpmap_phys_to_machine_mapping table) this can point to some of Xen's data
 setup at bootstrap (either the xpmap_phys_to_machine_mapping table,
 some page shared with the hypervisor, or our kernel page table). Using it for
 early_zerop will cause of these pages to be unmapped after bootstrap.
 This will cause a kernel page fault for the domU, either immediatly or
 eventually much later, depending on where early_zerop points to.
 To fix this, account for early_zerop when building the bootstrap pages,
 and its VA from here.
 May fix PR port-xen/38699
