The Xen hypercall interface is always using 4K page granularity on ARM
and x86 architecture.

With the incoming support of 64K page granularity for ARM64 guest, it
won't be possible to re-use the Linux page definition in Xen drivers.

Introduce Xen page definition helpers based on the Linux page
definition. They have exactly the same name but prefixed with
XEN_/xen_ prefix.

Also modify page_to_pfn to use new Xen page definition.

    I'm wondering if we should drop page_to_pfn has the macro will likely
    misuse when Linux is using 64KB page granularity.
I think we want xen_gfn_to_page() and xen_page_to_gfn() and Xen
front/back drivers never deal with PFNs only GFNs.
