Cases where domU needs direct-map memory map:
  * IOMMU not present in the system.
  * IOMMU disabled if it doesn't cover a specific device and all the guests
are trusted. Thinking a mixed scenario, where a few devices with IOMMU and
a few without, then guest DMA security still could not be totally guaranteed.
So users may want to disable the IOMMU, to at least gain some performance
improvement from IOMMU disabled.
  * IOMMU disabled as a workaround when it doesn't have enough bandwidth.
To be specific, in a few extreme situation, when multiple devices do DMA
concurrently, these requests may exceed IOMMU's transmission capacity.
  * IOMMU disabled when it adds too much latency on DMA. For example,
TLB may be missing in some IOMMU hardware, which may bring latency in DMA
progress, so users may want to disable it in some realtime scenario.
  * Guest OS relies on the host memory layout

"direct-map" property shall be added under the appropriate domain node,
when users requesting direct-map memory mapping for the domain.

Right now, direct-map is only supported when domain on Static Allocation,
that is, "xen,static-mem" is also necessary in the domain configuration.

Looking into related [design link](
https://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2021-05/msg00882.html)
for more details.

The whole design is about Static Allocation and direct-map, and this
Patch Serie only covers parts of it, which are direct-map memory map.
Other features will be delievered through different patch series.

See https://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2021-09/msg00855.html
for Domain on Static Allocation.

This patch serie is based on
https://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2021-10/msg00822.html\
---
v4 changes:
- introduce internal const CDF_xxx flags for domain creation
- introduce internal flag CDF_privileged
- introduce new internal flag CDF_directmap
- add a directmap flag under struct arch_domain and use it to
reimplement is_domain_direct_mapped.
- expand arch_domain_create/domain_create to include internal-only parameter
"const unsigned int flags"
- use mfn_eq() instead, because it is the only value used to indicate
there is an error and this is more lightweight than mfn_valid()
- rename function allocate_static_memory_11() to assign_static_memory_11()
to make clear there is actually no allocation done. Instead we are only
mapping pre-defined host regions to pre-defined guest regions.
- remove tot_size to directly substract psize from kinfo->unassigned_mem
- check kinfo->unassigned_mem doesn't underflow or overflow
- remove nested if/else
- remove ASSERT_UNREACHABLE() to avoid breaking compilation on prod build with
CONFIG_GICV3=n
- comment and commit message refinement
---
v3 changes:
- move flag XEN_DOMCTL_CDF_INTERNAL_directmap back to xen/include/xen/domain.h,
to let it be only available for domain created by XEN.
- name it with extra "INTERNAL" and add comments to warn developers not
to accidently use its bitfield when introducing new XEN_DOMCTL_CDF_xxx flag.
- reject this flag in x86'es arch_sanitise_domain_config()
- add ASSERT_UNREACHABLE to catch any misuse in allocate_static_memory()
and allocate_static_memory_11()
- add another check of validating flag XEN_DOMCTL_CDF_INTERNAL_directmap only
when CONFIG_STATIC_MEMORY is set.
- simply map the CPU interface at the GPA vgic_v2_hw.cbase
- drop 'cells += (GUEST_ROOT_ADDRESS_CELLS + GUEST_ROOT_SIZE_CELLS)'
- rename 'is_domain_use_host_layout()' to 'domain_use_host_layout()'
---
v2 changes:
- remove the introduce of internal flag
- Refine is_domain_direct_mapped to check whether the flag
XEN_DOMCTL_CDF_directmap is set
- reword "1:1 direct-map" to just "direct-map"
- split the common codes into two helpers: parse_static_mem_prop and
acquire_static_memory_bank to deduce complexity.
- introduce a new helper allocate_static_memory_11 for allocating static
memory for direct-map guests
- remove panic action since it is fine to assign a non-DMA capable device when
IOMMU and direct-map both off
- remove redistributor accessor
- introduce new helper "is_domain_use_host_layout()"
- explain why vpl011 initialization before creating its device tree node
- error out if the domain is direct-mapped and the IRQ is not found
- harden the code and add a check/comment when the hardware UART region
is smaller than CUEST_VPL011_SIZE.
