Re: [PATCH v9 5/8] remove remaining uses of iommu_legacy_map/unmap

The 'legacy' functions do implicit flushing so amend the callers to do the
appropriate flushing.

Unfortunately, because of the structure of the P2M code, we cannot remove
the per-CPU 'iommu_dont_flush_iotlb' global and the optimization it
facilitates. Checking of this flag is now done only in relevant callers of
iommu_iotlb_flush(). Also, 'iommu_dont_flush_iotlb' is now declared
as bool (rather than bool_t) and setting/clearing it are no longer pointlessly
gated on is_iommu_enabled() returning true. (Arguably it is also pointless to
gate the call to iommu_iotlb_flush() on that condition - since it is a no-op
in that case - but the if clause allows the scope of a stack variable to be
restricted).

NOTE: The code in memory_add() now sets 'ret' if iommu_map() or
       iommu_iotlb_flush() fails.

The changes in common code looks good to me:
