On ARM, when an initrd is given to xen by U-boot, it will reserve the memory in
the device tree.
In this case, when xen decides to free unused memory, dt_unreserved_regions
will call init_domheap_pages with the start and the end of range equals. But
the latter assumes that (start > end), if not Xen will hang because the
number of pages is equals to (unsigned)-1.

I understand Jan's reservations, but I think just being more liberal here is
fine really.

Ping ? Without this commit, the user is unable to pass initrd to dom0 on
ARM.
