Ooops. Sorry.

I'll move linux-2.6-xen-sparse/include/asm-x86_64/e820.h to
linux-2.6-xen-sparse/include/asm-x86_64/mach-xen/asm/e820.h then the
native build will pickup the unmodified e820.h.

The machine map contains the actual physical memory layout, which has no
relationship with the para-virtual layout, even in dom0.
