On Armv8-A, Xen has a fixed virtual start address (link address too) for all
Armv8-A platforms. In an MMU based system, Xen can map its loaded address to
this virtual start address. So, on Armv8-A platforms, the Xen start address does
not need to be configurable. But on Armv8-R platforms, there is no MMU to map
loaded address to a fixed virtual address and different platforms will have very
different address space layout. So Xen cannot use a fixed physical address on
MPU based system and need to have it configurable.

So, we introduce a Kconfig option for users to set the start address. The start
address needs to be aligned to 4KB. We have a check for this alignment.

In case if the user forgets to set the start address, then 0xffffffff is used
as default. This is to trigger the error (on alignment check) and thereby prompt
user to set the start address.

Also updated config.h so that it includes mpu/layout.h when CONFIG_MPU is
defined.

It would suggest to add some explanation why you want the start address 
to be 4KB aligned.

Looking at this patch again, I don't see any modification in xen.lds.S. 
Is it intended?

Strictly speaking, this doesn't match the Kconfig. AFAIU, we still said 
the internal code may continue to rely on PAGE_SIZE for the time being. 
But I think we would want to have a BUILD_BUG_ON(PAGE_SIZE != SZ_4K) to 
catch any value change.

In the error message, you want to mention 4KB.
