Subject: [PATCH] xen/arm: vpl011: Make access to DMACR write-ignore

When the guest kernel enables DMA engine with "CONFIG_DMA_ENGINE=y",
Linux SBSA PL011 driver will access PL011 DMACR register in some
functions. As chapter "B Generic UART" in "ARM Server Base System
Architecture"[1] documentation describes, SBSA UART doesn't support
DMA. In current code, when the kernel tries to access DMACR register,
Xen will inject a data abort:
Unhandled fault at 0xffffffc00944d048
Mem abort info:
  ESR = 0x96000000
  EC = 0x25: DABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits
  SET = 0, FnV = 0
  EA = 0, S1PTW = 0
  FSC = 0x00: ttbr address size fault
Data abort info:
  ISV = 0, ISS = 0x00000000
  CM = 0, WnR = 0
swapper pgtable: 4k pages, 39-bit VAs, pgdp=0000000020e2e000

As discussed in [2], this commit makes the access to DMACR register
write-ignore as an improvement.
