Create empty mappings in the second e820 pass. Also, destroy existing
direct map mappings created in the first pass.

To make xenheap pages visible in guests, it is necessary to create empty
L3 tables in the direct map even when directmap=no, since guest cr3s
copy idle domain's L4 entries, which means they will share mappings in
the direct map if we pre-populate idle domain's L4 entries and L3
tables. A helper is introduced for this.

Also, after the direct map is actually gone, we need to stop updating
the direct map in update_xen_mappings().

Could you remind me (perhaps say a word here) why these need creating then
in the first place?
