xen: set IO permission early (before early_cpu_init())
This patch is based off "xen dom0: Set up basic IO permissions for dom0."
by Juan Quintela <quintela@redhat.com>.
On AMD machines when we boot the kernel as Domain 0 we get this nasty:
mapping kernel into physical memory
Xen: setup ISA identity maps

The issue is that we don't set IO permissions for the Linux kernel early enough.
The call sequence used to be:
xen_start_kernel()
x86_init.oem.arch_setup = xen_setup_arch;
setup_arch:
- early_cpu_init
- early_init_amd
- read_pci_config
- x86_init.oem.arch_setup [ xen_arch_setup ]
- set IO permissions.
We need to set the IO permissions earlier on, which this patch does.
