drm/xen-front: Add support for Xen PV display frontend

Add support for Xen para-virtualized frontend display driver.
Accompanying backend [1] is implemented as a user-space application
and its helper library [2], capable of running as a Weston client
or DRM master.
Configuration of both backend and frontend is done via
Xen guest domain configuration options [3].

Driver limitations:
 1. Only primary plane without additional properties is supported.
 2. Only one video mode supported which resolution is configured
    via XenStore.
 3. All CRTCs operate at fixed frequency of 60Hz.

1. Implement Xen bus state machine for the frontend driver according to
the state diagram and recovery flow from display para-virtualized
protocol: xen/interface/io/displif.h.

2. Read configuration values from Xen store according
to xen/interface/io/displif.h protocol:
  - read connector(s) configuration
  - read buffer allocation mode (backend/frontend)

3. Handle Xen event channels:
  - create for all configured connectors and publish
    corresponding ring references and event channels in Xen store,
    so backend can connect
  - implement event channels interrupt handlers
  - create and destroy event channels with respect to Xen bus state

4. Implement shared buffer handling according to the
para-virtualized display device protocol at xen/interface/io/displif.h:
  - handle page directories according to displif protocol:
    - allocate and share page directories
    - grant references to the required set of pages for the
      page directory
  - allocate xen balllooned pages via Xen balloon driver
    with alloc_xenballooned_pages/free_xenballooned_pages
  - grant references to the required set of pages for the
    shared buffer itself
  - implement pages map/unmap for the buffers allocated by the
    backend (gnttab_map_refs/gnttab_unmap_refs)

5. Implement kernel modesetiing/connector handling using
DRM simple KMS helper pipeline:

- implement KMS part of the driver with the help of DRM
  simple pipepline helper which is possible due to the fact
  that the para-virtualized driver only supports a single
  (primary) plane:
  - initialize connectors according to XenStore configuration
  - handle frame done events from the backend
  - create and destroy frame buffers and propagate those
    to the backend
  - propagate set/reset mode configuration to the backend on display
    enable/disable callbacks
  - send page flip request to the backend and implement logic for
    reporting backend IO errors on prepare fb callback

- implement virtual connector handling:
  - support only pixel formats suitable for single plane modes
  - make sure the connector is always connected
  - support a single video mode as per para-virtualized driver
    configuration

6. Implement GEM handling depending on driver mode of operation:
depending on the requirements for the para-virtualized environment,
namely requirements dictated by the accompanying DRM/(v)GPU drivers
running in both host and guest environments, number of operating
modes of para-virtualized display driver are supported:
 - display buffers can be allocated by either
   frontend driver or backend
 - display buffers can be allocated to be contiguous
   in memory or not

Note! Frontend driver itself has no dependency on contiguous memory for
its operation.

6.1. Buffers allocated by the frontend driver.

The below modes of operation are configured at compile-time via
frontend driver's kernel configuration.

6.1.1. Front driver configured to use GEM CMA helpers
     This use-case is useful when used with accompanying DRM/vGPU driver
     in guest domain which was designed to only work with contiguous
     buffers, e.g. DRM driver based on GEM CMA helpers: such drivers can
     only import contiguous PRIME buffers, thus requiring frontend driver
     to provide such. In order to implement this mode of operation
     para-virtualized frontend driver can be configured to use
     GEM CMA helpers.

6.1.2. Front driver doesn't use GEM CMA
     If accompanying drivers can cope with non-contiguous memory then, to
     lower pressure on CMA subsystem of the kernel, driver can allocate
     buffers from system memory.

Note! If used with accompanying DRM/(v)GPU drivers this mode of operation
may require IOMMU support on the platform, so accompanying DRM/vGPU
hardware can still reach display buffer memory while importing PRIME
buffers from the frontend driver.

6.2. Buffers allocated by the backend

This mode of operation is run-time configured via guest domain
configuration through XenStore entries.

For systems which do not provide IOMMU support, but having specific
requirements for display buffers it is possible to allocate such buffers
at backend side and share those with the frontend.
For example, if host domain is 1:1 mapped and has DRM/GPU hardware
expecting physically contiguous memory, this allows implementing
zero-copying use-cases.

Note, while using this scenario the following should be considered:
  a) If guest domain dies then pages/grants received from the backend
     cannot be claimed back
  b) Misbehaving guest may send too many requests to the
     backend exhausting its grant references and memory
     (consider this from security POV).

Note! Configuration options 1.1 (contiguous display buffers) and 2
(backend allocated buffers) are not supported at the same time.

7. Handle communication with the backend:
 - send requests and wait for the responses according
   to the displif protocol
 - serialize access to the communication channel
 - time-out used for backend communication is set to 3000 ms
 - manage display buffers shared with the backend
