    tools/dombuilder: Correct the length calculation in xc_dom_alloc_segment()
    
    xc_dom_alloc_segment() is passed a size in bytes, calculates a size in pages
    from it, then fills in the new segment information with a bytes value
    re-calculated from the number of pages.
    
    This causes the module information given to the guest (MB, or PVH) to have
    incorrect sizes; specifically, sizes rounded up to the next page.
    
    This in turn is problematic for Xen.  When Xen finds a gzipped module, it
    peeks at the end metadata to judge the decompressed size, which is a -4
    backreference from the reported end of the module.
    
    Fill in seg->vend using the correct number of bytes.

allocator")
