xen-gntdev: Support mapping in HVM domains
HVM does not allow direct PTE modification, so instead we request that Xen change its internal p2m mappings on the allocated pages and map the memory into userspace normally. Note: The HVM path for map and unmap is slightly different: HVM keeps the pages mapped until the area is deleted, while the PV case (use_ptemod being true) must unmap them when userspace unmaps the range. In the normal use case, this makes no difference to users since unmap time is deletion time.
