xen/pvh: Piggyback on PVHVM for grant driver (v4)
In PVH the shared grant frame is the PFN and not MFN, hence its mapped via the same code path as HVM. The allocation of the grant frame is done differently - we do not use the early platform-pci driver and have an ioremap area - instead we use balloon memory and stitch all of the non-contingous pages in a virtualized area. That means when we call the hypervisor to replace the GMFN with a XENMAPSPACE_grant_table type, we need to lookup the old PFN for every iteration instead of assuming a flat contingous PFN allocation. Lastly, we only use v1 for grants. This is because PVHVM is not able to use v2 due to no XENMEM_add_to_physmap calls on the error status page (see commit 69e8f430e243d657c2053f097efebc2e2cd559f0 xen/granttable: Disable grant v2 for HVM domains.) Until that is implemented this workaround has to be in place. Also per suggestions by Stefano utilize the PVHVM paths as they share common functionality. v2 of this patch moves most of the PVH code out in the arch/x86/xen/grant-table driver and touches only minimally the generic driver. v3, v4: fixes us some of the code due to earlier patches.
