To be used in order to create foreign mappings. This is based on the
ZONE_DEVICE facility which is used by persistent memory devices in
order to create struct pages and kernel virtual mappings for the IOMEM
areas of such devices. Note that on kernels without support for
ZONE_DEVICE Xen will fallback to use ballooned pages in order to
create foreign mappings.

The newly added helpers use the same parameters as the existing
{alloc/free}_xenballooned_pages functions, which allows for in-place
replacement of the callers. Once a memory region has been added to be
used as scratch mapping space it will no longer be released, and pages
returned are kept in a linked list. This allows to have a buffer of
pages and prevents resorting to frequent additions and removals of
regions.

If enabled (because ZONE_DEVICE is supported) the usage of the new
functionality untangles Xen balloon and RAM hotplug from the usage of
unpopulated physical memory ranges to map foreign pages, which is the
correct thing to do in order to avoid mappings of foreign pages depend
on memory hotplug.

Note the driver is currently not enabled on Arm platforms because it
would interfere with the identity mapping required on some platforms.

On some architectures (like ARM), virt_to_gfn cannot be used for
vmalloc'd memory because of its reliance on virt_to_phys. This patch
introduces a check for vmalloc'd addresses and obtains the PFN using
vmalloc_to_pfn in that case.

XEN data pointer which contains XEN specific information.

handler data is meant for interrupt handlers and not for storing irq chip
specific information as some devices require handler data to store internal
per interrupt information, e.g. pinctrl/GPIO chained interrupt handlers.

This obviously creates a conflict of interests and crashes the machine
because the XEN pointer is overwritten by the driver pointer.

As the XEN data is not handler specific it should be stored in
irqdesc::irq_data::chip_data instead.

A simple sed s/irq_[sg]et_handler_data/irq_[sg]et_chip_data/ cures that.

Pull more xen updates from Juergen Gross:

 - Remove support for running as 32-bit Xen PV-guest.

   32-bit PV guests are rarely used, are lacking security fixes for
   Meltdown, and can be easily replaced by PVH mode. Another series for
   doing more cleanup will follow soon (removal of 32-bit-only pvops
   functionality).

 - Fixes and additional features for the Xen display frontend driver.

It is possible that the scatter-gather table during dmabuf import has
non-zero offset of the data, but user-space doesn't expect that.
Fix this by failing the import, so user-space doesn't access wrong data.

Xen is requiring 64-bit machines today and since Xen 4.14 it can be
built without 32-bit PV guest support. There is no need to carry the
burden of 32-bit PV guest support in the kernel any longer, as new
guests can be either HVM or PVH, or they can use a 64 bit kernel.

Remove the 32-bit Xen PV support from the kernel.
