A new kernel deserves a clean slate. Any pages shared with the hypervisor
is unshared before invoking the new kernel. However there are exceptions.
If the new kernel is invoked to dump the current kernel, or if there is a
explicit request to preserve the state of the current kernel, unsharing
of pages is skipped.
NOTE: While testing crashkernel, make sure at least 256M is reserved for
crashkernel. Otherwise SWIOTLB allocation will fail and crash kernel will
fail to boot.

These functions are used when the guest wants to grant the hypervisor
access to certain pages.

In ultravisor enabled systems, PTCR becomes ultravisor privileged only
for writing and an attempt to write to it will cause a Hypervisor
Emulation Assitance interrupt.
This patch uses the set_ptcr_when_no_uv() function to restrict PTCR
writing to only when ultravisor is disabled.

When Ultravisor (UV) is enabled, the partition table is stored in secure
memory and can only be accessed via the UV. The Hypervisor (HV) however
maintains a copy of the partition table in normal memory to allow Nest MMU
translations to occur (for normal VMs). The HV copy includes partition
table entries (PATE)s for secure VMs which would currently be unused
(Nest MMU translations cannot access secure memory) but they would be
needed as we add functionality.
This patch adds the UV_WRITE_PATE ucall which is used to update the PATE
for a VM (both normal and secure) when Ultravisor is enabled.

In PEF enabled systems, some of the resources which were previously
hypervisor privileged are now ultravisor privileged and controlled by
the ultravisor firmware.
This adds FW_FEATURE_ULTRAVISOR to indicate if PEF is enabled.
The host kernel can use FW_FEATURE_ULTRAVISOR, for instance, to skip
accessing resources (e.g. PTCR and LDBAR) in case PEF is enabled.
