I have tested the series on Arm64 guest using Xen hypervisor and didn't 
notice any issues.


I assigned two virtio-mmio devices to the guest:
#1 - grant dma device (required DT binding is present, so 
xen_is_grant_dma_device() returns true), virtio-mmio modern transport 
(backend offers VIRTIO_F_VERSION_1, VIRTIO_F_ACCESS_PLATFORM)
#2 - non grant dma device (required DT binding is absent, so 
xen_is_grant_dma_device() returns false), virtio-mmio legacy transport 
(backend does not offer these flags)


# CONFIG_XEN_VIRTIO is not set

both works, and both do not use grant mappings for virtio


CONFIG_XEN_VIRTIO=y
# CONFIG_XEN_VIRTIO_FORCE_GRANT is not set

both works, #1 uses grant mappings for virtio, #2 does not use it


CONFIG_XEN_VIRTIO=y
CONFIG_XEN_VIRTIO_FORCE_GRANT=y

only #1 works and uses grant mappings for virtio, #2 was rejected by 
validation in virtio_features_ok()


You can add my:
