[Xen-devel,MM-PART2,RESEND,v2,17/19] xen/arm: mm: Initialize page-tables earlier

Since commit f60658c6ae "xen/arm: Stop relocating Xen", the function
setup_page_tables() does not require any information from the FDT.

So the initialization of the page-tables can be done much earlier in the
boot process. The earliest setup_page_tables() can be called is after
traps have been initialized, so we can get backtrace if an error
occurred.

Moving the initialization of the page-tables also avoid the dance to map
the FDT again in the new set of page-tables.

I think you can drop this comment now.

In any case:

Good point, the more the plan is to have only one set of page-tables.

Thank you for the review!
