[kvmtool PATCH 5/5] arm: Inject external data aborts when accessing holes in the memory map

[Christoffer Dall <christoffer.dall@arm.com>]

Occasionally guests will attempt to access parts of the guest memory map
where there is... nothing at all.  Until now, we've handled this by
either forcefully killing the guest, or silently (unless a debug option
was enabled) ignoring the access.  Neither is very helpful to a user,
who is most likely running either a broken or misconfigured guest.

A more appropriate action is to inject an external abort to the guest.
Luckily, with KVM_CAP_ARM_INJECT_EXT_DABT, we can use the set event
mechanism and ask KVM to do this for us.

So we add an architecture specific hook to handle accesses to MMIO
regions which cannot be found, and allow them to return if the invalid
access was handled or not.
