[PATCH v1 1/2] KVM: arm64: determine memory type from VMA

From: Ankit Agrawal <ankita at nvidia.com>

Currently KVM determines if a VMA is pointing at IO memory by checking
pfn_is_map_memory(). However, the MM already gives us a way to tell what
kind of memory it is by inspecting the VMA.

Replace pfn_is_map_memory() with a check on the VMA pgprot to determine if
the memory is IO and thus needs stage-2 device mapping.

The VMA's pgprot is tested to determine the memory type with the
following mapping:

 pgprot_noncached    MT_DEVICE_nGnRnE   device
 pgprot_writecombine MT_NORMAL_NC       device
 pgprot_device       MT_DEVICE_nGnRE    device
 pgprot_tagged       MT_NORMAL_TAGGED   RAM

This patch solves a problems where it is possible for the kernel to
have VMAs pointing at cachable memory without causing
pfn_is_map_memory() to be true, eg DAX memremap cases and CXL/pre-CXL
devices. This memory is now properly marked as cachable in KVM.

Unfortunately when FWB is not enabled, the kernel expects to naively do
cache management by flushing the memory using an address in the
kernel's map. This does not work in several of the newly allowed
cases such as dcache_clean_inval_poc(). Check whether the targeted pfn
and its mapping KVA is valid in case the FWB is absent before continuing.
