[PATCH v4 00/17] xen: Support grant mappings

[Edgar E. Iglesias]

From: "Edgar E. Iglesias" <edgar.iglesias@amd.com>

Hi,

This is a follow-up on Vikrams v3:
http://next.patchew.org/QEMU/20240227223501.28475-1-vikram.garhwal@amd.com/

Grant mappings are a mechanism in Xen for guests to grant each other
permissions to map and share pages. These grants can be temporary
so both map and unmaps must be respected. See here for more info:
https://github.com/xen-project/xen/blob/master/docs/misc/grant-tables.txt

Currently, the primary use-case for this is with QEMU's VirtIO backends.
Grant mappings will only work with models that use the address_space_map/unmap
interfaces, any other access will fail with appropriate error messages.

In response to feedback we got on v3, this version switches approach
from adding new MemoryRegion types and map/unmap hooks to instead reusing
the existing xen_map_cache() hooks (with extensions). Almost all of the
changes are now contained to the Xen modules.

This approach also refactors the mapcache to support multiple instances
(one for existing foreign mappings and another for grant mappings).

Patch 1 - 10 are refactorings with minimal functional changes.
Patch 3 - 10 could possibly get squashed into one but I've left them
separate to make them easier to review.

I've only enabled grants for the ARM PVH machine since that is what
I can currently test on.

Cheers,
Edgar

ChangeLog:

v3 -> v4:
* Major changes.
* Reuse existing xen_map_cache hooks.
* Reuse existing map-cache for both foreign and grant mappings.
* Only enable grants for the ARM PVH machine (removed i386).

v2 -> v3:
* Drop patch 1/7. This was done because device unplug is an x86-only case.
* Add missing qemu_mutex_unlock() before return.

v1 -> v2:
* Split patch 2/7 to keep phymem.c changes in a separate.
* In patch "xen: add map and unmap callbacks for grant" add check for total
  allowed grant < XEN_MAX_VIRTIO_GRANTS.
* Fix formatting issues and re-based with master latest.
