Hello Juergen

Commit fa1f57421e0b ("xen/virtio: Enable restricted memory access using
Xen grant mappings") introduced a new requirement for using virtio
devices: the backend now needs to support the VIRTIO_F_ACCESS_PLATFORM
feature.

This is an undue requirement for non-PV guests, as those can be operated
with existing backends without any problem, as long as those backends
are running in dom0.

Per default allow virtio devices without grant support for non-PV
guests.

On Arm require VIRTIO_F_ACCESS_PLATFORM for devices having been listed
in the device tree to use grants.

Add a new config item to always force use of grants for virtio.

V2:
- remove command line parameter (Christoph Hellwig)
V3:
- rebase to callback method


Patch looks good, just one NIT ...

   ... I am thinking would it be better to move this to xen/xen-ops.h as grant-dma-ops.c is generic (not only for virtio, although the virtio is the first use-case)
