Today when a domain unpopulates the memory on runtime, they will always
hand the memory back to the heap allocator. And it will be a problem if domain
is static.

Pages as guest RAM for static domain shall be reserved to only this domain
and not be used for any other purposes, so they shall never go back to heap
allocator.

This commit puts reserved pages on the new list resv_page_list only after
having taken them off the "normal" list, when the last ref dropped.

v3 changes:
- have page_list_del() just once out of the if()
- remove resv_pages counter
- make arch_free_heap_page be an expression, not a compound statement.
---
v2 changes:
- put reserved pages on resv_page_list after having taken them off
the "normal" list

I am a bit puzzled how this is meant to work.

Looking at the code, arch_free_heap_page() will be called from 
free_domheap_pages(). If I am not mistaken, reserved pages are not 
considered as xen heap pages, so we would go in the else which will end 
up to call free_heap_pages().

free_heap_pages() will end up to add the page in the heap allocator and 
corrupt the d->resv_page_list because there are only one link list.

What did I miss?

In my first commit "do not free reserved memory into heap", I've changed the behavior
for reserved pages in free_heap_pages()
+    if ( pg->count_info & PGC_reserved )
+        /* Reserved page shall not go back to the heap. */
+        return free_staticmem_pages(pg, 1UL << order, need_scrub);

Hmmm... somehow this e-mail is neither in my inbox nor in the archives

Oh.... I just got email from tessian that they held my first commit, and needed my
confirmation to send. So sorry about that!!!

I'll re-send my first commit ASAP.
