[PATCH v1 09/10] xen/arm: Add use_iommu flag to xen_arch_domainconfig

[Oleksandr Tyshchenko <olekstysh@gmail.com>]

From: Oleksandr Tyshchenko <oleksandr_tyshchenko@epam.com>

This flag is intended to let Xen know that the guest has devices
which will most likely be used for passthrough and as the result
the use of IOMMU is expected for this domain.
The primary aim of this knowledge is to help the IOMMUs that don't
share page tables with the CPU on ARM be ready before P2M code starts
updating IOMMU mapping.
So, if this flag is set the non-shared IOMMUs will populate
their page tables at the domain creation time and thereby will be able
to handle IOMMU mapping updates from *the very beginning*.

In order to retain the current behavior for x86 still call
iommu_domain_init() with use_iommu flag being forced to false.

   Changes in V1:
      - Treat use_iommu flag as the ARM decision only. Don't use
        common domain creation flag for it, use ARM config instead.
      - Clarify patch subject/description.
