[PATCH v2 08/24] KVM: arm64: Prevent the donation of no-map pages

From: Quentin Perret <qperret at google.com>

Memory regions marked as no-map in DT routinely include TrustZone
carevouts and such. Although donating such pages to the hypervisor may
not breach confidentiality, it may be used to corrupt its state in
uncontrollable ways. To prevent this, let's block host-initiated memory
transitions targeting no-map pages altogether in nVHE protected mode as
there should be no valid reason to do this currently.

Thankfully, the pKVM EL2 hypervisor has a full copy of the host's list
of memblock regions, hence allowing to check for the presence of the
MEMBLOCK_NOMAP flag on any given region at EL2 easily.
