[PATCH v3 17/18] xen/arm: linker: The identitymap check should cover the whole .text.header



From: Julien Grall <jgrall@xxxxxxxxxx>

At the moment, we are only checking that only some part of .text.header
is part of the identity mapping. However, this doesn't take into account
the litteral pool which will be located at the end of the section.

While we could try to avoid using a literal pool, in the near future we
will also want to use an identity mapping for switch_ttbr().

Not everything in .text.header requires to be part of the identity
mapping. But it is below a page size (i.e. 4KB) so take a shortcut and
check that .text.header is smaller than a page size.

With that _end_boot can be removed as it is now unused. Take the
pportunity to avoid assuming that a page size is always 4KB in the
error message and comment.
