Commit Message

From: Oleksandr Tyshchenko <oleksandr_tyshchenko@epam.com>

At the moment, Xen expects the memory banks to be ordered.
Unfortunately, there may be a case when updated by firmware
device tree contains unordered banks. This means Xen will panic
when setting xenheap mappings for the subsequent bank with start
address being less than xenheap_mfn_start (start address of
the first bank).

As there is no clear requirment regarding ordering in the device
tree, update code to be able to deal with by sorting memory
banks if we have more than one.

Please clarify in the commit message that the behavior you are 
describing is for arm64. For arm32, there is only one heap region.

That said, I think the sorting is fine to be done in common code.

NIT: sort() is already be able to deal with one element array. So this 
checks looks a bit pointless.

It would be good to explain in the comment *why* this is necessary. Some 
along the line:

On Arm64, setup_xenheap_pages() expects to be called with the lowest 
bank in memory first. There is no requirement that the DT will provide 
the banks sorted in ascending order. So sort them through.
