This patch implements arch_xen_unpopulated_init() on Arm where
the extended regions (if any) are gathered from DT and inserted
into passed Xen resource to be used as unused address space
for Xen scratch pages by unpopulated-alloc code.

The extended region (safe range) is a region of guest physical
address space which is unused and could be safely used to create
grant/foreign mappings instead of wasting real RAM pages from
the domain memory for establishing these mappings.

The extended regions are chosen by the hypervisor at the domain
creation time and advertised to it via "reg" property under
hypervisor node in the guest device-tree. As region 0 is reserved
for grant table space (always present), the indexes for extended
regions are 1...N.

If arch_xen_unpopulated_init() fails for some reason the default
behaviour will be restored (allocate xenballooned pages).

This patch also removes XEN_UNPOPULATED_ALLOC dependency on x86.

Should this be:

Also here, shouldn't it be:

?

I think I am missing again something in termination accounting :-)

By definition I don't think this check is necessary as either condition

Do we need to set any flags so that the system can reuse the memory in
the hole, e.g. IORESOURCE_MEM? Or is it not necessary?

Although it is impossible to enable XEN_UNPOPULATED_ALLOC on arm32 due
to unmet dependencies, I would like to keep the implementation of
arch_xen_unpopulated_init 32bit clean.

I am getting build errors like (by forcing arch_xen_unpopulated_init to
compile on arm32):

./include/linux/kern_levels.h:5:18: warning: format ‘%llx’ expects argument of type ‘long long unsigned int’, but argument 3 has type ‘resource_size_t {aka unsigned int}’ [-Wformat=]
