xen: prevent crashes with non-HIGHMEM 32-bit kernels with largeish memory
If this is a non-HIGHMEM 32-bit kernel, then the page structures only go up to the limit of addressable memory, even if more memory is physically present. Don't try to add that extra memory to the balloon. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com>
