Is this meant to be a place holder?  Did you plan to replace the
hardcoded single entry map later?

It will be properly defined for mini-xen, where it will return the real physical memory map. It could also be properly defined for auto-translate guests (where Xen manages the pseudo-physical space and therefore it is reasonable for Xen to provide the pseuophys e820 map). It could also be properly defined for all guests if the guest loader could poke down e820 maps.
