The allocation bit size setting wasn't working anymore after the recent
fix to properly use PAGE_SHIFT instead of PAGE_SIZE. This was because
the bit size implies a power-of-two range that's accessible, but if all
memory is accessible anyway (and its upper boundary is not a power of
two), the domain would either be needlessly restricted or wouldn't be
able to allocate as much memory as was intended for it (specifically
the case for Dom0 without dom0_mem= boot parameter). Consequently,
don't restrict the bit width if all memory can be accessed.

To avoid needing to adjust this code in two places in the future (it
may need further touching when memory hotplug gets supported), fold the
logic into a function.
