To support HVM guest with RAM above 4G physical address space, we need
define a constant HVM_RAM_LIMIT_BELOW_4G, and physical address space
from HVM_RAM_LIMIT_BELOW_4G to 4G is reserved for PCI device MMIO use.
So if HVM guest has more than HVM_RAM_LIMIT_BELOW_4G RAM, RAM beyond
HVM_RAM_LIMIT_BELOW_4G should go to physical address space above 4G.  So
p2m table and e820 table need  adjust Accordingly.
The constant HVM_RAM_LIMIT_BELOW_4G will be used in control panel,
device model and hypervisor, and I need a header file to hold the
definition.  It''s hard for me to find a good English name for the
header
file.  Another concern is, in the future, we may have more such
definitions.
BTW, Qemu-dm allocates PCI devices MMIO from 0xf0000000.
