[PATCH v2 02/13] KVM: arm64: Track host-unmapped MMIO regions in a static array

Introduce a registry to track protected MMIO regions that are unmapped
from the host stage-2 page tables. These regions are stored in a
fixed-size array and their ownership is donated to the hypervisor during
initialization to ensure host-exclusion and persistent tracking.
