The hypercall interface (as well as the toolstack) is always using 4KB
page granularity. When the toolstack is asking for mapping a series of
guest PFN in a batch, it expects to have the page map contiguously in
its virtual memory.
When Linux is using 64KB page granularity, the privcmd driver will have
to map multiple Xen PFN in a single Linux page.
Note that this solution works on page granularity which is a multiple of
4KB.

The privcmd code is mixing the usage of GFN and MFN within the same
functions which make the code difficult to understand when you only work
with auto-translated guests.
The privcmd driver is only dealing with GFN so replace all the mention
of MFN into GFN.
The ioctl structure used to map foreign change has been left unchanged
given that the userspace is using it. Nonetheless, add a comment to
explain the expected value within the "mfn" field.

Make the IOCTL_PRIVCMD_MMAPBATCH_V2 (and older V1 version) map
multiple frames at a time rather than one at a time, despite the pages
being non-consecutive GFNs.
xen_remap_foreign_mfn_array() is added which maps an array of GFNs
(instead of a consecutive range of GFNs).
Since per-frame errors are returned in an array, privcmd must set the
MMAPBATCH_V1 error bits as part of the "report errors" phase, after
all the frames are mapped.
Migrate times are significantly improved (when using a PV toolstack
domain). For example, for an idle 12 GiB PV guest:
Before After
real 0m38.179s 0m26.868s
user 0m15.096s 0m13.652s
sys 0m28.988s 0m18.732s

Auto-translated physmap guests (arm, arm64 and x86 PVHVM/PVH) map and
unmap foreign GFNs using the same method (updating the physmap).
Unify the two arm and x86 implementations into one commont one.
Note that on arm and arm64, the correct error code will be returned
(instead of always -EFAULT) and map/unmap failure warnings are no
longer printed. These changes are required if the foreign domain is
paging (-ENOENT failures are expected and must be propagated up to the
caller).
