From: Petr Beneš <[e-mail]>

This series introduces the ability to configure the maximum number of altp2m
tables during domain creation. Previously, the limits were hardcoded to a
maximum of 10. This change allows for greater flexibility in environments that
require more or fewer altp2m views.

Adjustments include:
- "Prepare" commits with style changes.
- Adding a new `max_altp2m` parameter to xl.
- Adding a new `max_altp2m` parameter to the OCaml bindings.
- Adding a new `max_altp2m` parameter to the xl.cfg manual.
- Adding a new `max_altp2m` field into the `xen_domctl_createdomain`, which,
  after sanity checks, is stored in newly introduced `max_altp2m` field of
  `struct domain` - leaving room for other architectures to implement the
  altp2m feature.
- Replacing MAX_ALTP2M macro occurrences with `domain->max_altp2m`.
- Finally, adjusting the initial allocation of pages in `hap_enable` from 256
  to 1024 pages to accommodate potentially larger `max_altp2m` values (i.e.,
  maximum of 512).

This enhancement is particularly relevant for users leveraging Xen's features
for virtual machine introspection.
