iomem: Prevent Dom0 pci bus from allocating RAM as I/O space

In Dom0, pci bus dynamically allocates I/O address resources from memory hole 
within 4GB physical space, which can be RAM space not allocated to Dom0. This 
patch set physical RAM space to be unusable in Dom0 E820 map if they are not 
owned by Dom0 to prevent them from being misused as I/O address space. Dom0 is 
assumed to look for MMIO space only below 4GB. If this assumption is broken, 
additional fixes are required.
