Move Xen initialization earlier, before any DMA requests can be made.

I guess you should cc the corresponding maintainers here.

Thanks for the reminder, I'll do that.

So Xen guests don't have any hope for single Image? Basically you set
dma_ops unconditionally in xen_early_init(), even if the kernel is not
intended to run under Xen.

That should not happen: if we are not running on Xen xen_early_init
returns early, before calling xen_mm_init.
