Currently, the grant mapping related device tree properties are added if
the backend domain is not Dom0. While Dom0 is privileged and can do
foreign mapping for the entire guest memory, it is still desired for
Dom0 to access guest's memory via grant mappings and hence map only what
is required.
This commit adds the "grant_usage" parameter for virtio devices, which
provides better control over the functionality.

Only the VirtIO backend will watch xenstore to find out when a new
instance needs to be created for a guest, and read the parameters from
there. VirtIO frontend are only virtio, so they will not do anything
with the xenstore nodes. They can be removed.
While at it, also add a comment to the libxl_virtio.c file.

The field 'base' in 'struct libxl_device_virtio' is defined as uint64,
while we are printing it with '%lu', which is 32bit only 32-bit
platforms. And so generates a error like:
libxl_internal.h:4388:51: error: format '%lu' expects argument of type 'long
unsigned int', but argument 3 has type 'uint64_t' {aka 'long long unsigned
int'} [-Werror=format=]
Fix it by switching to a 64bit PRI instead.
While fixing this, switch from decimal to hex which is the more natural base
to use for a field like this.

This patch adds basic support for configuring and assisting generic
Virtio backends, which could run in any domain.
An example of domain configuration for mmio based Virtio I2C device is:
virtio = ["type=virtio,device22,transport=mmio"]
To make this work on Arm, allocate Virtio MMIO params (IRQ and memory
region) and pass them to the backend and update guest device-tree to
create a DT node for the Virtio devices.
Add special support for I2C and GPIO devices, which require the
"compatible" DT property to be set, among other device specific
properties. Support for generic virtio devices is also added, which just
need a MMIO node but not any special DT properties, for such devices the
user needs to pass "virtio,device" in the "type" string.
The parsing of generic virtio device configurations will be done in a
separate commit.
