[RFC 01/48] mm/vmalloc: Introduce arch hooks to notify ioremap/unmap changes

From: Rajnesh Kanwal <rkanwal at rivosinc.com>

In virtualization, the guest may need notify the host about the ioremap
regions. This is a common usecase in confidential computing where the
host only provides MMIO emulation for the regions specified by the guest.

Add a pair if arch specific callbacks to track the ioremapped regions.

This patch is based on pkvm patches. A generic arch config can be added
similar to pkvm if this is going to be the final solution. The device
authorization/filtering approach is very different from this and we
may prefer that one as it provides more flexibility in terms of which
devices are allowed for the confidential guests.
