The main reason of this change is that unpopulated-alloc code cannot be used in its current form on Arm, but there is a desire to reuse it to avoid wasting real RAM pages for the grant/foreign mappings. The problem is that system "iomem_resource" is used for the address space allocation, but the really unallocated space can't be figured out precisely by the domain on Arm without hypervisor involvement. For example, not all device I/O regions are known by the time domain starts creating grant/foreign mappings. And following the advise from "iomem_resource" we might end up reusing these regions by a mistake. So, the hypervisor which maintains the P2M for the domain is in the best position to provide unused regions of guest physical address space which could be safely used to create grant/foreign mappings. Introduce new helper arch_xen_unpopulated_init() which purpose is to create specific Xen resource based on the memory regions provided by the hypervisor to be used as unused space for Xen scratch pages. If arch doesn't define arch_xen_unpopulated_init() the default "iomem_resource" will be used. Update the arguments list of allocate_resource() in fill_list() to always allocate a region from the hotpluggable range (maximum possible addressable physical memory range for which the linear mapping could be created). If arch doesn't define arch_get_mappable_range() the default range (0,-1) will be used. The behaviour on x86 won't be changed by current patch as both arch_xen_unpopulated_init() and arch_get_mappable_range() are not implemented for it. Also fallback to allocate xenballooned pages (balloon out RAM pages) if we do not have any suitable resource to work with (target_resource is invalid) and as the result we won't be able to provide unpopulated pages on a request.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
