arm/xen: Read extended regions from DT and init Xen resource
This patch implements arch_xen_unpopulated_init() on Arm where the extended regions (if any) are gathered from DT and inserted into specific 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.
