[RFC kvm-unit-tests 07/27] arm: realm: Make uart available before MMU is enabled

A Realm must access any emulated I/O mappings with the PTE_NS_SHARED bit set.
This is modelled as a PTE attribute, but is actually part of the address.

So, when MMU is disabled, the "physical address" must reflect this bit set. We
access the UART early before the MMU is enabled. So, make sure the UART is
accessed always with the bit set.
