The result is at least used by xc_dom_gnttab_hvm_seed, to get a scratch 
GFN to initialize grant table.
IHMO this is buggy on ARM (and x86?), because we could have map 
everything up to the end of the address space (currently 40 bits).
I plan to rework a bit this code.

Without this patch, xc_dom_gnttab_hvm_seed will use by mistake the pfn 0 
(0xffffffff + 1).
