xen/arm: reimplement xen_dma_unmap_page & friends
xen_dma_unmap_page, xen_dma_sync_single_for_cpu and xen_dma_sync_single_for_device are currently implemented by calling into the corresponding generic ARM implementation of these functions. In order to do this, firstly the dma_addr_t handle, that on Xen is a machine address, needs to be translated into a physical address. The operation is expensive and inaccurate, given that a single machine address can correspond to multiple physical addresses in one domain, because the same page can be granted multiple times by the frontend. To avoid this problem, we introduce a Xen specific implementation of xen_dma_unmap_page, xen_dma_sync_single_for_cpu and xen_dma_sync_single_for_device, that can operate on machine addresses directly. The new implementation relies on the fact that the hypervisor creates a second p2m mapping of any grant pages at physical address == machine address of the page for dom0. Therefore we can access memory at physical address == dma_addr_r handle and perform the cache flushing there. Some cache maintenance operations require a virtual address. Instead of using ioremap_cache, that is not safe in interrupt context, we allocate a per-cpu PAGE_KERNEL scratch page and we manually update the pte for it. arm64 doesn't need cache maintenance operations on unmap for now.
