Currently the data type of mfn parameter passed to xc_map_foreign_range() is unsigned
long. This could be problem for 32-bit arm architectures where the lengh of long is
32 bits while mfn happens to be a 64-bit value.

To avoid truncating a 64-bit value, the type of mfn is changed from "unsigned long" to
xen_pfn_t. Also the parameter name "mfn" is changed to "pfn" which is a more accurate
indication of what this parameter represents.

But this should either come before #2 or be squashed into it.
