When populate pages across a mem boundary at bootup, the page count
populated isn't correct. This is due to mem populated to non-mem

Pfn range is also wrongly aligned when mem boundary isn't page aligned.
Also need consider the rare case when xen_do_chunk fail(populate).
For a dom0 booted with dom_mem=3368952K(0xcd9ff000-4k) dmesg diff is:

This looks like it will loop forever if xen_do_chunk() repeatedly fails
because Xen is out of pages. I think if xen_do_chunk() cannot get a
page from Xen the repopulation process should stop -- aborting this
chunk and any others. This will allow the guest to continue to boot
just with less memory than expected.

Ok, I'll update the patch, loop forever isn't a good idea.
Originally, I considered the case there is dynamic memory control
functionality in the system.
thanks for comment.
