Hi Kees,

As we've seen from USB and other areas, we need to always do runtime
checks for DMA operating on memory regions that might be remapped. This
consolidates the (existing!) checks and makes them on by default. A
warning will be triggered for any drivers still using DMA on the stack
(as has been seen in a few recent reports).

This stands to absolutely cripple I/O performance on arm64, because every valid call will end up going off and scanning the memblock list, which is not something we want on a fastpath in non-debug configurations. We'd need a much better solution to the "pfn_valid() vs. EFI no-map" problem before this might be viable.

Robin.
