xen: set IO permission early (before early_cpu_init())

Browse Source 
This patch is based off "xen dom0: Set up basic IO permissions for dom0."
by Juan Quintela <quintela@redhat.com>.

On AMD machines when we boot the kernel as Domain 0 we get this nasty:

mapping kernel into physical memory

(XEN) Guest stack trace from rsp=ffffffff81801e50:

RIP points to read_pci_config() function.

The issue is that we don't set IO permissions for the Linux kernel early enough.

The call sequence used to be:

    xen_start_kernel()
	x86_init.oem.arch_setup = xen_setup_arch;
        setup_arch:
           - early_cpu_init
               - early_init_amd
                  - read_pci_config
           - x86_init.oem.arch_setup [ xen_arch_setup ]
               - set IO permissions.

We need to set the IO permissions earlier on, which this patch does.
