While reviewing a RISC-V patch cloning the Arm code, I noticed an
off-by-1 here: FIX_PMAP_{BEGIN,END} being an inclusive range and
FIX_LAST being the same as FIX_PMAP_END, FIXADDR_TOP cannot derive from
FIX_LAST alone, or else the BUG_ON() in virt_to_fix() would trigger if
FIX_PMAP_END ended up being used.
While touching this area also add a check for fixmap and boot FDT area
to not only not overlap, but to have at least one (unmapped) page in
between.
Fixes: 4f17357b52f6 ("xen/arm: add Persistent Map (PMAP) infrastructure")

v2: Adjust FIXADDR_TOP instead. Add BUILD_BUG_ON() as suggested by
Michal.
