xen/e820: Guard against E820_RAM not having page-aligned size or start.

Browse source 
Under Dell Inspiron 1525, and Intel SandyBridge SDP's the
BIOS e820 RAM is not page-aligned:

[   0.000000]  Xen: 0000000000100000 - 00000000df66d800 (usable)

We were not handling that and ended up setting up a pagetable
that included up to df66e000 with the disastrous effect that when

        memset(NODE_DATA(nodeid), 0, sizeof(pg_data_t));

tried to clear the page it would crash at the 2K mark.

Initially reported by Michael Young @
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2011-01/msg00108.html

The fix is to page-align the size and also take into consideration
the start of the E820 (in case that is not page-aligned either). This
fixes the bootup failure on those affected machines.

This patch is a rework of the Micheal A Young initial patch and
considers the case if the start is not page-aligned.
