An architecture may need to validate the VIRTIO devices features
based on architecture specifics.

Provide a new Kconfig entry, CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_RESTRICTED_MEMORY_ACCESS,
the architecture can select when it provides a callback named
arch_has_restricted_memory_access to validate the virtio device
features.

This option is only for a very specific case of "restricted memory
access", namely the kind that requires IOMMU_PLATFORM for virtio
devices. ARCH_HAS_RESTRICTED_VIRTIO_MEMORY_ACCESS? Or is this intended
to cover cases outside of virtio as well?

Hm, I'd rather have expected something like

if (arch_has_restricted_memory_access(dev)) {
	// enforce VERSION_1 and IOMMU_PLATFORM
}

Otherwise, you're duplicating the checks in the individual architecture
callbacks again.

[Not sure whether the device argument would be needed here; are there
architectures where we'd only require IOMMU_PLATFORM for a subset of
virtio devices?]
