I think we should shatter the superpage on demand. This would also be
required for superpage mappings of Xen itself: when we free initmem that
memory can now be allocated to a domain (now xenheap and domheap are merged
on x86/64).
An alternative might be to mark such partially-freed superpages as
Xenheap-only, and allocate them preferentially for Xenheap callers (i.e.,
alloc those pages first, then from the general heap).
