[PATCH v3 2/9] xen: Make clear that swiotlb and biomerge are dealing with DMA address

The swiotlb is required when programming a DMA address on ARM when a
device is not protected by an IOMMU.

In this case, the DMA address should always be equal to the machine address.
For DOM0 memory, Xen ensure it by have an identity mapping between the
guest address and host address. However, when mapping a foreign grant
reference, the 1:1 model doesn't work.

For ARM guest, most of the callers of pfn_to_mfn expects to get a GFN
(Guest Frame Number), i.e a PFN (Page Frame Number) from the Linux point
of view given that all ARM guest are auto-translated.

Even though the name pfn_to_mfn is misleading, we need to ensure that
those caller get a GFN and not by mistake a MFN. In pratical, I haven't
seen error related to this but we should fix it for the sake of
correctness.

In order to fix the implementation of pfn_to_mfn on ARM in a follow-up
patch, we have to introduce new helpers to return the DMA from a PFN and
the invert.

On x86, the new helpers will be an alias of pfn_to_mfn and mfn_to_pfn.

The helpers will be used in swiotlb and xen_biovec_phys_mergeable.

This is necessary in the latter because we have to ensure that the
biovec code will not try to merge a biovec using foreign page and
another using Linux memory.

Lastly, the helper mfn_to_local_pfn has been renamed to bfn_to_local_pfn
given that the only usage was in swiotlb.

    Changes in v3:
        - Typoes in the commit message
        - Forgot to replace some dfn in bfn
        - Add Stefano's reviewed-by

    Changes in v2:
        - Use bfn (Bus Frame Number) rather than dfn to match the
        proposed terminology for pv-iommu hypercall.
