#1186434 — [Patch V6 09/16] xen: check for kernel memory conflicting with memory layout

Checks whether the pre-allocated memory of the loaded kernel is in
conflict with the target memory map. If this is the case, just panic
instead of run into problems later, as there is nothing we can do
to repair this situation.
