Actually this patch makes things worse on xen, because before
cleanup_highmap() wasn't called at all on xen (on purpose) and now it
is, fully destroying all the mappings we have at _end.

Can we add a check on memblock reserved regions in cleanup_highmap()?
Otherwise could we avoid calling cleanup_highmap() at all on xen?
