[PATCH v3 1/3] xen/arm: introduce XENFEAT_grant_map_identity

The flag tells us that the hypervisor maps a grant page to guest
physical address == machine address of the page in addition to the
normal grant mapping address. It is needed to properly issue cache
maintenance operation at the completion of a DMA operation involving a
foreign grant.
