    xen: introduce XENFEAT_direct_mapped and XENFEAT_not_direct_mapped
    
    Introduce two feature flags to tell the domain whether it is
    direct-mapped or not. It allows the guest kernel to make informed
    decisions on things such as swiotlb-xen enablement.
    
    The introduction of both flags (XENFEAT_direct_mapped and
    XENFEAT_not_direct_mapped) allows the guest kernel to avoid any
    guesswork if one of the two is present, or fallback to the current
    checks if neither of them is present.
    
    XENFEAT_direct_mapped is always set for not auto-translated guests.
    
    For auto-translated guests, only Dom0 on ARM is direct-mapped. Also,
    see is_domain_direct_mapped() which refers to auto-translated guests:
    xen/include/asm-arm/domain.h:is_domain_direct_mapped
    xen/include/asm-x86/domain.h:is_domain_direct_mapped
