Cases where domU needs direct-map memory map:
* IOMMU not present in the system.
* IOMMU disabled if it doesn't cover a specific device and all the guests
are trusted. Thinking a mixed scenario, where a few devices with IOMMU and
a few without, then guest DMA security still could not be totally guaranteed.
So users may want to disable the IOMMU, to at least gain some performance
improvement from IOMMU disabled.
* IOMMU disabled as a workaround when it doesn't have enough bandwidth.
To be specific, in a few extreme situation, when multiple devices do DMA
concurrently, these requests may exceed IOMMU's transmission capacity.
* IOMMU disabled when it adds too much latency on DMA. For example,
TLB may be missing in some IOMMU hardware, which may bring latency in DMA
progress, so users may want to disable it in some realtime scenario.
* Guest OS relies on the host memory layout
This commit introduces a new helper allocate_static_memory_11 to allocate
static memory as guest RAM for direct-map domain.
For now, direct-map is only available when statically allocated memory is
used for the domain, that is, "xen,static-mem" must be also defined in the
domain configuration.

v2 changes:
- split the common codes into two helpers: parse_static_mem_prop and
acquire_static_memory_bank to deduce complexity.
- introduce a new helper allocate_static_memory_11 for allocating static
memory for direct-map guests
- remove redundant use "bool direct_map", to be replaced by
d_cfg.flags & XEN_DOMCTL_CDF_directmap
- remove panic action since it is fine to assign a non-DMA capable device when
IOMMU and direct-map both off
---
v3 changes:
- doc refinement
- drop the pointless gbank
- add check of the size of nr_banks shall not exceed NR_MEM_BANKS
- add ASSERT_UNREACHABLE to catch any misuse
- add another check of validating flag XEN_DOMCTL_CDF_INTERNAL_directmap only
when CONFIG_STATIC_MEMORY is set.
