[PATCH v3 0/5] target/arm: Reduced-IPA space and highmem=off fixes

[Marc Zyngier <maz@kernel.org>]

Here's another stab at enabling QEMU on systems with pathologically
reduced IPA ranges such as the Apple M1 (previous version at [1]).
Eventually, we're able to run a KVM guest with more than just 3GB of
RAM on a system with a 36bit IPA space, and at most 123 vCPUs.

This series does a few things:
- decouple the enabling of the highmem PCIe region from the highmem
  attribute
- introduce a new attribute to control the enabling of the highmem
  GICv3 redistributors
- correctly cap the PA range with highmem is off
- generalise the highmem behaviour to any PA range
- disable both highmem PCIe and GICv3 RDs when they are outside of the
  PA range

This has been tested on an M1-based Mac-mini running Linux v5.16-rc6
with both KVM and TCG.

* From v2:
  - Fixed checking of the maximum memory against the IPA space
  - Fixed TCG memory map creation
  - Rebased on top of QEMU's 89f3bfa326
  - Collected Andrew's RBs, with thanks
