[PATCH] KVM: arm/arm64: Properly check for MMIO regions

[KarimAllah Ahmed <karahmed@amazon.de>]

Valid RAM can live outside kernel control (e.g. using "mem=" command-line
parameter). This memory can still be used as valid guest memory for KVM. So
ensure that we validate that this memory is definitely not "RAM" before
assuming that it is an MMIO region.

One way to use memory outside kernel control is:

1- Pass 'mem=' in the kernel command-line to limit the amount of memory managed
   by the kernel.
2- Map this physical memory you want to give to the guest with:
   mmap("/dev/mem", physical_address_offset, ..)
3- Use the user-space virtual address as the "userspace_addr" field in
   KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION ioctl.

One of the limitations of the current /dev/mem for ARM is that it would map
this memory as uncached without this patch:

This work is similar to the work done on x86 here:
