Parse a new cacheability option for the iomem parameter, it can be
"devmem" for device memory mappings, which is the default, or "memory"
for normal memory mappings.

Store the parameter in a new field in libxl_iomem_range.

Pass the cacheability option to xc_domain_memory_mapping.

Extension of the libxl_types.idl should be companied with a new define in libxl.h. So a toolstack can deal with multiple libxl version.

Below you suggest the cacheability is option. However, the is not reflected here. I think you want to put ',CACHEABILITY' between [] as it is done for '@GFN'.

I was planning to comment about the naming and documentation. But I will do it in patch #1 where Jan already started a discussion about it.

If I read it correctly, you will require the GFN to be specified in order to get the "cacheability". Am I correct?
