From: Oleksandr Tyshchenko <oleksandr_tyshchenko at epam.com>
Add a logic to query hypervisor to find regions of guest physical
address space which are unused and can be safely used to create
grant/foreign mappings. Without that the XEN_UNPOPULATED_ALLOC
feature can't be used on Arm.
Introduce new helper arch_xen_unpopulated_init_resource() which
purpose is to create specific Xen resource based on the unused
memory regions provided by the hypervisor to be used as unallocated
address space for Xen scratch pages.
Re-use new XENMEM_get_unallocated_space hypercall on Arm to query
for the unallocated space. In case if arch doesn't offer Xen resource
the default IOMEM resource will be used in fill_list(). Since this
patch only implements Arm part, the behavior on x86 won't be changed.
The "unallocated space" can't be figured out precisely by
the domain on Arm without hypervisor involvement:
- not all device I/O regions are known by the time domain starts
creating grant/foreign mappings
- the Dom0 is not aware of memory regions used for the identity
mappings needed for the PV drivers to work
In both cases we might end up re-using these regions by
a mistake. So, the hypervisor which maintains the P2M for the domain
is in the best position to provide "unallocated space".
This patch also removes XEN_UNPOPULATED_ALLOC dependency on x86.

TODO: Likely we would need to fall back to alloc_xenballooned_pages
if xen_alloc_unpopulated_pages fails on Arm, to be able to run
old hypervisor (without unallocated space support), but the next
question would be how to implement such "fallback" properly?
