We plan to support different migration ABIs, ie. characterizing
the ITS table layout format in guest RAM. Typically a new ABI will
be needed if vLPIs get supported for nested use case.

So let's introduce an array of supported ABIs (at the moment a single
ABI is supported though). The following characteristics are foreseen
to vary with the ABI: size of table entries, save/restore operation.

By default the MAX_ABI_REV is applied on its creation. In subsequent
patches we will introduce a way for the userspace to change the ABI
in use.

The entry sizes now are set according to the ABI version and not
hardcoded anymore.
