Oleksandr Tyshchenko 5e1cdb8ee5 arm/xen: Switch to use gnttab_setup_auto_xlat_frames() for DT 
Read the start address of the grant table space from DT
(region 0).

This patch mostly restores behaviour before commit 3cf4095d74
("arm/xen: Use xen_xlate_map_ballooned_pages to setup grant table")
but trying not to break the ACPI support added after that commit.
So the patch touches DT part only and leaves the ACPI part with
xen_xlate_map_ballooned_pages(). Also in order to make a code more
resilient use a fallback to xen_xlate_map_ballooned_pages() if grant
table region wasn't found.

This is a preparation for using Xen extended region feature
where unused regions of guest physical address space (provided
by the hypervisor) will be used to create grant/foreign/whatever
mappings instead of wasting real RAM pages from the domain memory
for establishing these mappings.

The immediate benefit of this change:
- Avoid superpage shattering in Xen P2M when establishing
  stage-2 mapping (GFN <-> MFN) for the grant table space
- Avoid wasting real RAM pages (reducing the amount of memory
  usuable) for mapping grant table space
- The grant table space is always mapped at the exact
  same place (region 0 is reserved for the grant table)

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
